Head Of Education

• Sep 2009 - Apr 2021

I lead a small team which support the teaching of STEM, science and D&T at both primary and secondary level by providing free, innovative resources. Based on enquiry based and global learning methodologies these help pupils understand how science and technolgoy can lift people out of poverty, and how their own actions can have an impact on the developing world. My team works with a number of partners including the British Science Association, the Association for Science Education and Design and Technology Association to ensure our materials are in line with current education practice and to reach as many teachers as possible! I am also involved in EU funded projects and at the moment we are partners with Hull University and 8 other European partners in a project called Girls into Global STEM (see below for more details) Show less
