Design and Technology Education: An International Journal Volume 30.2 is now published.

This issue includes research articles from the USA, UK, Norway and Turkey, sharing insights across diverse aspects of design and technology education: from culturally relevant place-based learning with native American middle school students; to nurturing creativity  in schools through makerspaces; to approaches that focus on assessable creative outcomes that prioritise design thinking processes; to the complexities and value of collaboration via a cross-cultural, virtual, design studio with a focal point on peer learning.

In addition, there is an article reflecting on an interpaly between a Rubic's cube and changes in design and technology curricula and a review of a new book that provides "A field Guide to Design Education".

We hope you enjoy the articles in this issue. Comments and questions are welcomed by the editors.  Contact k.stables@gold.ac.uk and/or l.buck@soton.ac.uk
