OUR ASSOCIATION

Message from the Executive

DATTA WA aims to assist and support Design and Technology teachers across Western Australia. Our website and Facebook pages offer the opportunity for teachers to showcase their students work and to share their expertise. We hope that by encouraging collaboration, adopting new technologies and promoting innovation this will maintain and strengthen the importance of Design and Technology in today’s society.

We invite both new and experienced teachers to join DATTA WA and be part of a community that offers resources, professional development, the sharing of ideas, teaching opportunities and State/ National competitions.
