This article outlines The Rt Hon Michael Gove’s (Secretary of State for Education UK: 2010-2014), pledge to modernise design and technology education as part of the new National Curriculum for Schools in England and Wales by introducing 3D Printers into schools to help the next generation of children become creators rather than users. The article explores what this means for education and intellectual property laws.
