Work history
Chief Educator, Head of OperationsLittle Inventors
London, United KingdomFreelance
Little Inventors is a creative education start-up. We run invention challenges for children aged 5-18 and bring the most ingenious ideas to life with the help of professional makers. They are then shown in exhibitions worldwide. You can see what we do at littleinventors.org.
We have directly engaged over 40,000 children, created more than 300 objects and reached close to 2 million visitors in our exhibitions worldwide, with engagement in 50 countries.
We have been featured on BBC Breakfast, Gardeners World, several international TV channels (France, Russia, Japan, USA) and multiple press features worldwide.
5 objects were acquired in the V&A permanent collection, and we have a permanent exhibition at the Montreal Science Centre. We exhibited in space from the International Space Station!
Core education partner of Newcastle’s Great Exhibition of the North in 2018 and 6th Sharjah Children Biennial in UAE and release of fully bilingual content in Canada and UAE.
As a founding member, I helped develop the strategy for the company and got involved with everything that needed to happen to get us off the ground.
I am responsible for all the content we produce. I have written numerous cross-curricular school educational resources for our high-profile partners: the Victoria and Albert Museum, The Natural Science and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC), the Canadian Space Agency, the Canadian Commission for Unesco, Mr Men and Little Miss, Disney, Ocado, and several high profile Arts Council funded projects. Our focus is on Science, Literacy, Citizenship and Art anchored in social consciousness, especially the environment.
I am at the heart of delivery for all our projects: creating and managing programmes, working with developers and designers to create web and visual assets, setting up exhibitions, events, workshops. I also deliver talks, events and workshops.
