We’re all set for the final day of this week’s #STEM summer camp at @themediacentre.org. Today, the focus will be on coding and robotics. We have so many exciting activities taking place throughout the day! #Edusky

What’s better than a Launchpad STEM Summer Camp? How about two?

You asked, we delivered! We’re offering another round of rich, creative, hands-on learning at @themediacentre.org in Huddersfield. For more information and to register, follow this link: bit.ly/launchpadstem2 #STEM #Edusky

We’re partnering with Yorkshire Children’s Charity to offer Launchpad STEM Summer Camp places to children who might not otherwise get such opportunities. With partnerships like these, based on shared values, we can help to close the STEM gap and ignite a passion for #STEM in all children. #Edusky

Children at Copley Primary School did a brilliant job of building and coding their VEX GO robots a few weeks ago so I promised them a little competition. They had to complete a number of challenges and plan their approach strategically. It came down to a nail-biting tie-breaker! #STEM #Edusky

Introducing the Launchpad STEM Summer Camp!

Are you looking for hands-on, creative fun this summer? Our lessons are packed with rich learning opportunities and designed to spark a love of #STEM in every child. Join us at @themediacentre.org in Huddersfield, 29 July - 1 August! #Edusky

I’m in #The5AMClub! Every day since reading this book, I’ve set my alarm for 4.55AM and applied the 20/20/20 formula - 20 minutes of exercise, 20 minutes of reflection and 20 minutes of growth - all before 6AM! I always feel so productive and energised after my Victory Hour! #Edusky

This wedding could not have been any more perfect! I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to share the special day with Katie and Neil in sunny Málaga, among an amazing group of friends and family. What a wonderful occasion it was - exactly what this lovely couple deserves!

Day 1 in Málaga, the day before the wedding. We were treated to a pre-wedding barbecue and a guided walk at El Caminito del Rey. It was so great to hang out with the bride, groom and the rest of the wedding party in this stunning part of Spain!

STEM club pupils at Salterhebble Junior and Infant School had fun exploring the #mBot2 robots from @xtool-official.bsky.social. They learnt about the quad RGB sensor and the ultrasonic sensor. They tested the sensors in fun - sometimes scary - ways! #STEM #xtooledu #Edusky

This week at the Copley Primary School #STEM club, we explored Snap Circuits! They made brilliant connections to previous learning and demonstrated excellent problem-solving skills whenever their circuits didn’t quite work as expected. The alarms and flying saucers were the most fun! #Edusky

STEM club students at Cross Lane Primary School used MakeCode to create their own games. They customised the elements to make their games harder, more enjoyable or more personal. They then downloaded to @microbit.org to play them on the @elecfreaks.bsky.social Retro Arcade devices. #STEM #Edusky

Really enjoyed Aspiration Day at Hillside Primary School. The children brought really thoughtful questions and showed a genuine interest in my journey from teacher to business owner. We discussed the importance of risk-taking, creativity, lifelong learning and having a positive impact. #STEM #Edusky

Launchpad STEM looks good on me! What do you think of my new branded polo shirt?

It seems fitting that my first opportunity to wear it was in Birmingham - a city that has been very good to me. My favourite events and school opportunities have all taken place here. #STEM #Edusky

Thank you!

Launchpad STEM is here!

This isn’t just a rebrand - it’s a bold leap forward to build something bigger and have a greater impact. Our services are intended to be a launchpad - a spark that fuels ongoing discovery, growth and innovation in #STEM education. Let’s do this! #Edusky

STEM club students at Salterhebble J&I School created wearable step counters with @microbit.org and then personalised them with additional features. They’re developing a real sense of how the micro:bits work and what they can do. They’re starting to have very creative ideas! #STEM #Edusky

Mark your calendars fr July 8th! #seesawconnect2025 is shaping up to be Seesaw’s biggest ever virtual conference!

I’m delighted to be a speaker again at this brilliant event. Join me for Design Thinking in Education. Secure your free spot here: tinyurl.com/2ve2fkcy #Edusky #EdTech

Our brand-new STEM club at Cross Lane Primary School kicked off in style! The children learnt about fractals and the famous Sierpiński triangle. They applied these ideas in 3D to create a huge fractal pyramid using @strawbees.bsky.social. It took great collaboration and determination! #STEM #Edusky

STEM club students enjoyed learning about @microbit.org. They were so excited to use the Robotic Inventions kit to enhance their @strawbees.bsky.social creations. They experimented with their code and the position of the servo motor for best results. #STEM #Edusky

Thanks, Georgina! I can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Huge shoutout to Hafeez, Anaya and Cameron (not pictured) for all of their help and support during my half term residency at Eureka!. I couldn’t have done it without them. Massive thanks also to the brilliant Eureka! Enablers. Build, Code, Play! was a real team effort! #STEM #Edusky

The calm before the storm! Day 3 at Eureka! was the busiest and most action-packed yet! My team and I have had a brilliant long weekend with the children and families but there’s plenty more fun to be had because we’ll be here for the rest of the week! #STEM #Edusky

All set for my half term residency at Eureka! My team and I are excited to host nine days of fun, creativity and #STEM magic in the theatre. Swing by with your family and say hello! #Edusky

I’m back at Eureka! throughout half term for more action-packed building, coding and playing with robotics. NINE back-to-back days of fun and creativity. It’s going to be epic! Don’t miss it! #STEM #Edusky

My student is learning about shapes and angles with the Alvik robot from Arduino. We loosely followed the Geometric Adventures lesson on the Arduino website. It was a great way to learn geometry through coding - several lightbulb moments! #STEM #Edusky

I had a blast at Copley Primary School! I worked with Years 4, 5 and 6 to drum up excitement for my new STEM club. I’m now on my way to my other STEM club around the corner (I stopped halfway for an iced latte and a bite to eat). #STEM #Edusky

My student really enjoyed assembling the #mBot2. He learnt a lot about robotics and documented the process on Seesaw. Next lesson, we will dive deeper into the mBlock coding platform to see what else these little guys can do! #STEM #xtooledu #Edusky
