This issue of Design and Technology Education: An International journal is a Guest-edited Special Issue presenting 21 articles developed from papers presented at the PATT40 Conference. The PATT  conferences are now in their 40th year  - the acronym PATT was created from the first ever PATT conference and stands for Pupils Attitudes Towards Technology). We are particularly excited by this special issue as it is a ‘bumper’ one, 21 research articles provided by authors from 9 countries across 4 continents, providing insight into learning and teaching from early years up to the end of mainstream schooling. The Guest Editors, Sarah Davies, Matt McLain and Bhavna Prajapat both hosted the conference and produced this Special Issue and we thank them for their contribution! Check out their Guest Editorial to see the richness and variety of what is presented.

We hope you enjoy reading the articles in this issue. Comments and questions are welcomed by the Editors. Contact k.stables@gold.ac.uk
