What is FUTE?

FUTE (Future Teaching) is an education method and interactive toolkit that helps teachers and students use design thinking to build engaging learning experiences based on real-life scenarios and problem-solving.

The FUTE materials are specifically adapted to teachers and children within secondary education in the EU with no previous experience of using design methods.

The FUTE materials can be explored and downloaded on this website. The collection contains:

42 FUTE method cards to build your own exciting design challenges.

The Teacher Training course with information cards, exercises and templates. Learn how to use the FUTE method and materials in your schools, education programs and classrooms.

Two process maps that you can print and post in the classroom for an overview of the FUTE method and process.
