Spark Penketh

I lead, directed, funded and drove the the first makerspace in the UK in a secondary school setting in 2017. Our school makerspace now delivers the "digital upskilling pathway" to all students to provide diverse, rich learning environments in which the creativity of the student as a “maker” can flourish. We provide pupils with the opportunity to develop their ideas within the curriculum and outside the classroom with industry leaders and Makers in the community so that learning is no longer confined to our timetabled sessions. We are aspiring to move towards a more dynamic way of teaching and learning that has the potential to transform our curriculum delivery. Spark At Penketh. Current projects with Create Education Ultimaker, LJMU, EHU, Little Sandbox Does Liverpool, Code Club, Mirco:bits, Rasberrypi, Maker difference, Liverpool Library.
