Transform How Your School Approaches STEAM & Neurodiversity

Training, curriculum development, and demonstration teaching that helps educators unlock neurodivergent potential

You Know These Students

Bright but disengaged. Labeled 'difficult'—when really, they're learning differently. Your staff want to help. They just don't have practical strategies.

That's where we come in.

Meet Stuart: Educator, Engineer, Advocate

Stuart didn't take a straight path to education—and that's exactly why it works.

​

Engineering . Product Design & Multimedia.  Fine art. Improvised comedy and drama. Entrepreneurship.

 

Twenty-five years teaching D&T, Maths, Engineering, Computing, and Art—predominantly in PRUs, special schools, and alternative provision.

​

Working with neurodivergent learners brought it all together. The hands-on problem-solving from engineering. The creative thinking from design and art. The adaptability from improv. The real-world experience from running businesses.

​

The improv and comedy background? That's what makes training sessions engaging rather than endurable. Charismatic, funny, and able to hold a room—whether it's 8 teachers in a workshop or 200 educators at a conference. Stories stick better than theory.

​

This isn't theoretical expertise—it's decades of practice with the kids traditional education struggles with most, delivered by someone who makes professional development enjoyable.
