En route to beautiful Cumbria to join the Institute of Mechanical Engineers West Cumbria and 280 local children for a fun-filled day of #STEM! Truth be told - I'm trying something new tomorrow. It could be amazing. It could also be utter chaos! Either way, it's going to be lots of fun! #Edusky

Fantastic two days of learning and connecting at the Schools and Academies Show in Birmingham! What a fantastic event - and Launchpad STEM was a proud partner. Already looking forward to the next one! #SAAShow #FanSAAStic #Edusky

Our new STEM club at St Malachy’s Catholic Primary School kicked off with Sphero indi! The pupils first experimented with the coloured tiles to learn what command each colour represents. Then, they used Makedo and Nurcs construction tools to create fun elements. #STEM #Edusky

I absolutely loved my recent trip back to Hong Kong! It was short (made even shorter by flight disruptions) but I’m still so glad I made the trip. I’ll be back very soon - I love this city so much! #Edusky

Just one week to go until the next Schools & Academies Show in Birmingham - and this time it’s over two days! Really looking forward to it! It’s not too late to bag your free educator ticket: hubs.la/Q03HZfFh0 #SAAShow #FanSAAStic #Edusky

Excited to launch our next Launchpad STEM club at St Malachy’s Catholic Primary School. I offered taster sessions to KS2 today and we had a blast! Thank you to the lovely community at St Malachy’s for making me feel so welcome! I look forward to many more #STEM sessions together! #Edusky

Check out these Makey Makey interactive posters! We wrapped up our weekly #STEM classes by reflecting on our favourite projects. The pupils assigned photos and audio reflections to each conductive touchpad. I look forward to seeing these pupils again in February for more STEM! #Edusky

When Copley Primary pupils made Sierpiński pyramids with @strawbees.bsky.social, someone asked a great question: is it possible to make fractal pyramids using different triangles? They explored isosceles and scalene triangles and continued to apply their understanding of fractals. #STEM #Edusky

When I realised how many Launchpad STEM Camp students shared a love of music, we introduced them to the famous Makey Makey piano and challenged them to go further! They created new instruments and used Scratch to code real sounds for each key. #STEM #Edusky

We’re in! Delighted to be part of the inaugural Holmfirth SOUP night! One of the four projects will walk away with the funding raised on the door to support their community efforts. We have big plans to unleash the creativity of every child in the Holme Valley! Wish us luck! #Edusky

Exciting things are happening at Worthinghead Primary School in Bradford! I really enjoyed chatting with the headteacher about all things #STEM and making plans for our ongoing partnership. Stay tuned! #Edusky

Chefchaouen in Morocco was the perfect setting for a business retreat! Not only was it a brilliant way to work on Launchpad STEM, but a lovely way to travel too. Thanks to everyone involved for making it so fun, collaborative and inspiring! #Edusky

We’re building our own set of Launchpad STEM student devices, starting with these Chromebooks. We also have iPads on the way. Not having to rely on school devices for workshops and events will open up so many more opportunities and creative ideas! #EdTech #Edusky

We might be late to the party but the wait is over! Launchpad STEM has landed on TikTok! Let’s connect! Follow our TikTok journey if you share our passion for classroom creativity and hands-on learning! #Edusky #STEM

My first business retreat! I’m heading to Chefchaouen in Morocco to work on the growth and sustainability of Launchpad STEM - working ON my business, not IN it. I’ll be working with the other participants under the expert guidance of Syd Femtinos. It’s going to be amazing! #Edusky

The children at Copley Primary School did some screen-free programming and problem-solving with Sphero indi. Furthermore, they created fun features like tunnels and bridges using lolly sticks and @nurcstoy.bsky.social. STEM club is back! #STEM #Edusky

I enjoyed a gorgeous birthday weekend in Zurich, Switzerland. In true Swiss style, I ate a dangerous amount of chocolate and cheese!

Taking the famous Makey Makey piano to a whole other level with Scratch, Makedo and other materials. We had keyboards, guitars, drum kits and more! They used Scratch to find the sounds and assign them to different keys. As one mum said, “The kids were HYPED!” #STEM #EdTech #Edusky

Sometimes the best #STEM products are the simple ones! Check out @nurcstoy.bsky.social! They are reusable plastic joints for connecting popsicle sticks at different angles - perfect for classroom play, making and prototyping! My students love them! #Edusky

Excited to share our new #SBS badge from Theo Paphitis and the SBS crew. Largely because of this award and everything that came with it, I was empowered to think BIG. Adam Hill Consulting became Launchpad STEM Ltd. Thank you to Theo and the SBS team for recognising this update. #STEM #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

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
