“As fashion and textiles are niche offerings in our international exhibition program at Bendigo Art Gallery, attracting audiences nationwide, we are delighted that the Design and Technologies curriculum focuses really well on many of the elements in our exhibitions such as use of technology, materials, research and collaboration.”
Helen Attrill - Education Officer Bendigo Art Gallery
“Melbourne Museum partners with DATTA to support Design and Technology in cross-disciplinary enquiry projects, utilising Museological practices and resources.”
Dr Liz Suda - Program Co-ordinator, Humanities Education Melbourne Museum
"STEM and Design & Technologies education is so important because those who practice and teach the skills, knowledges and attributes associated with these disciplines are also, from my perspective, the ‘renegades’ that Australia will ultimately be depending on to arm the next generation with the attributes and capabilities needed to weather the storm of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and will secure Australia’s position in the industrialised world into the 21st Century and beyond."

“Designers bring beauty, deep thinking, emotion, imagination, humour, meaning and brilliant functionality to our lives. The value of Design and Technology education programs is that they prepare our young designers for an exciting future of creative thinking and problem solving as they grapple with the skills involved in making well designed and crafted objects.”
Jill Anderson - Education Officer Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery
“DATTA have been a brilliant source of support for Discovery. Being a regional education facility it is great to have an organisation that not only brings professional development opportunities to towns and cities outside of Melbourne but also help support us in our efforts to provide professional development to others.”
Alissa Van Soest - Science Communicator Discovery Science and Technology Centre
“We are delighted to support our next generation of innovators and inventors in their quest to utilise technology to find real-world solutions to everyday problems.”
Dean Stephens - Altronics
“Space Tank believes that design and technology is the glue that binds schools and makerspaces together. Digital knowledge sharing and computer aided design fabrication is enabling young people to change the world. In this new education arena, Human Centred Design, STEM and entrepreneurial mindsets play a central role in new curriculum for schools, makerspaces and young disruptors. It is an exciting time for schools and makerspaces as traditionally vertical industries like manufacturing, education, technology and healthcare are now able to collaborate horizontally in ways never before possible. This is the future for students today.”
Holger Dielenberg - Space Tank Studio
"Make Mob empowers artists, designers and technical experts to co-create innovative projects that blend art and technology to benefit
communities and the environment."
