      Nice work Tim. The new curriculum for Graphic Communication in Scotland has a component that requires packaging development. Sheet metal is ideal for this. There is a lot more CAD work in the courses FYI.

      How are teachers getting up to speed with the requirements for more CAD? Are there courses and is the government finding these?

      D&T in England is going through a really bad patch with reduced curriculum time, finding cuts and almost no budget for CPD.  Experienced teachers are being forced out to make way for cheaper newly qualified teachers.  I am seeing projects being taught I did in school over forty years ago.  Very sad.
