How Can I help?
Launchpad Events
Imagine whole-school events that excite all stakeholders, unleash creativity, build capacity and – most importantly – lay the foundation for ongoing innovation! Ignite STEM in your school with a launchpad event!
All of the ideas below can be tailored to meet the needs of your school, context and goals.
Build, Code, Play! Robotics Day
Explore the exciting world of robotics in these action-packed workshops! Students will work in teams to build robots using a range of parts, sensors, motors and electronics before coding them to perform tasks and complete challenges. Teams will then showcase their robots during a friendly competition. This event will bring computing to life like never before – celebrating hands-on, collaborative and creative learning!
Game Lab: From Imagination to Realisation
Unlock endless possibilities for storytelling, creativity and computer science with Game Lab! In these workshops, students will learn about game mechanics, character development and coding concepts – bringing their ideas to life in their very own playable video games! Furthermore, students will apply their understanding of materials and conductivity to create working video game controllers. Game Lab is guaranteed to blow minds and leave students wanting more!
Uncovering Artificial Intelligence: How AI Works, What It Means and How It Can Help You
Coming soon.
School Partnerships
I partner with schools on an ongoing, sometimes long-term basis to offer my continued support and guidance. These partnerships are tailored to meet the evolving needs of the individual schools.
The decision to work with a consultant can be a difficult one if you are unsure how they will meet your unique needs. To help guide your decision, I welcome the opportunity to chat with you about your school’s goals and priorities. This dicovery call will determine whether or not I am the right person to help. Either way, I am happy to offer my honest ideas, suggestions and recommendations.
Thought Leadership
As an award-winning blogger and influencer, I believe in the power of amplifying our educator voices and advocating for powerful ideas. I welcome the opportunity to share my experiences and expertise with your audience in the following formats:
Speaking
I regularly present at in-person and virtual conferences on a range of thought-provoking topics. It’s always a joy to connect with fellow educators and learn from one another!
Writing
When I’m not working in schools, you’ll find me in a cafe typing away for my blog, email list or upcoming books. Writing was my first love in the world of thought leadership! If you’re looking for guest contributors for your publication, I can help!
Podcasts
Engage your listeners with an enlightening conversation about STEM, leadership and school innovation! I’d be honoured to join you for a podcast episode where I share my unique perspective and important insights.
For all of the above, reach out using the contact form below and I’ll get back to you promptly!
Training Workshops
I facilitate workshops on a range of topics relating to technology, STEM and student creativity. Below are just a few examples to give you a flavour of my work. I am happy to tailor training content to meet your needs.
micro:bit Jumpstart: a Crash Course in Coding and Creativity
Thanks to a recent campaign, every primary school in the UK had the opportunity to register for a free BBC micro:bit class set. The micro:bit is a powerful and versatile resource to elevate coding, physical computing and creativity. If you have them but you’re not sure what to do with them, this practical, hands-on workshop offers everything you need to know to get started!
iPad Bootcamp (with optional Apple Teacher certification)
This workshop is designed to help teachers and schools to leverage their iPads and realise the full, creative potential in these powerful devices. With my guidance, interested participants can then complete the online course to receive official Apple Teacher recognition.
Brisk: The Simple AI Teaching Assistant That Works Wherever You Do (FREE training for schools!)
This training is co-sponsored by Brisk Teaching, allowing interested schools to request it for free!
Harness the power of AI with this safe, secure Chrome extension that’s designed for education. In this workshop, you will learn how to use Brisk tools to transform your workload and productivity, allowing you to focus on what really matters! We will also explore Brisk Boost, the AI-powered workspace for students.
Design Thinking: a Framework for Inquiry, Problem-solving and Innovation
Design Thinking is a powerful and authentic approach to inquiry learning that places great emphasis on empathy, creativity, agency and collaboration. When topics and units are taught through a Design Thinking framework, it adds tremendous value and depth to learning. In this engaging workshop, participants experience each phase of the process for themselves and prepare to apply Design Thinking to their own classrooms.
