	Supported by DFES and the DTI, Young Foresight is a revolutionary project aimed at giving students direct experience in all the skills needed to create a successful product or services: from conceptualisation, to design, to adaptability in the market place. Young Foresight is delivered regionally through local SETPOINTS. See Regions for more information.

Young Foresight is an educational initiative for design & technology within the English and Welsh National Curriculum. It is for pupils in Year 9 (age 13/14) but has been used successfully with both older and younger pupils. Find out more in 'About Us' or see the 'News' section for our latest activities.

The 'Gallery' contains products and services produced by pupils who have been involved with Young Foresight while the 'Technology' section contains new innovations in industry and research.

'Resources' provides useful links and downloads to help teach Young Foresight and the 'Regions' section provides information on activities in your area. If you have any questions for us, or would like to get involved please get in touch via the 'Contact' section.
