Are there any INVENTIONS BY WOMEN? Are there any WOMEN IN TECHNOLOGY? We look into female leaders within design and technology and the inventions by women. We find out why there are still fewer female inventors and women in business within this industry. With the main objective; why we need women more women in tech? // Sources of information: http://www.dezeen.com/2019/11/18/five-women-in-designers-book-roundup/amp/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/03/16/inventions-you-have-women-inventors-thank-these-50-things/39158677/ https://medium.com/hh-design/the-world-is-designed-for-men-d06640654491 https://www.usitc.gov/publications/332/executive_briefings/ebot_auto_worker_demographics.pdf //Next video will cover: Environment with a focus on global warming and carbon offsetting. //Other videos: SUSTAINABLE COMPANIES, DESIGNS & POPULATION GROWTH https://youtu.be/bez8skMcpNk What is a Life Cycle Assessment? https://youtu.be/ixt3xi429UA What is sustainability?: https://youtu.be/xqmdJNRIc9E New and emerging technologies and the impact on industry: https://youtu.be/bPuYSK8KeQU Enterprise the impact new and emerging technologies have on it: https://youtu.be/lhOTuj8pjI8

Is our exploding population influencing new technologies? What is the maximum population the Earth can sustain? What that has to do with design and technology? // How are new technologies are changing the way we manufacture products:  Only using renewable materials from sustainable sources  Powering the production of factories with renewable energy  Using only recycled materials  Creating products that use a low amount of energy  Making products with less materials and components.  Thinking about how existing or future products can be repaired and upgraded  Sourcing locally for materials, production and retailing. // We will look closer into two companies who are meeting some of these objectives: Island Bakery https://www.islandbakery.scot/the-island-bakery-story/ Other food companies: https://earth.org/sustainable-food-companies/ Green Toys https://www.greentoys.com/pages/our-commitment Other global companies: https://www.virgin.com/virgin-unite/latest/10-global-companies-that-are-environmentally-friendly

Learn what a life cycle assessment is? I will explain the 5 main stages; Extracting and processing of raw materials, 2. Production and manufacturing of the product including packaging, 3. Distribution and travel of the product/ materials needed, 4. Use of product and maintenance and lastly 5. Disposal of the product at the end of its life, recycling or landfill. It will recap on the impact and effects of these materials on the planet. From landfill, plastic islands and non-renewable resources. We will answer the following questions: What is a Life cycle assessment? What are the main stages of the LCA? What environmental impact does one object have on the world? Why is Life Cycle Assessment important? Why do companies complete LCA Life cycle assessments? This video will cover many key points that could appear within your Design technology exam.

Start your Design and Technology revision with the introduction to ‘New and Emerging Technologies’. This video covers the new GCSE core technical principles that will appear within your theory exam paper. The video will cover 4 key points that could appear within your Design technology exam. The video has been designed for easy Design Technology revision. Ideally for both Design Technology teachers and Design Technology students to use. Core technical principle covered: New and emerging technologies. Point 1: Technologists must keep up to date with the science world (materials covered Silk and Kevlar) Point 2: The role of a technologist is to embrace change and make ideas into a reality (Engineer example Percy Shaw). Point 3: An excellent design technologist will explore, create and refine – making lots of mistakes along the way (Designer example Thomas Edison). Point 4: There are centre points in history that have been greatly impacted by the developed of science and design (Invention of the telephone).
