Snails, Jaffa Cakes and rubber ducks: making outreach playful
Outreach initiatives like ‘School Tasking’ show how academics can break down barriers, engage young learners, and make higher education feel accessible rather than intimidating

I just searched for something that started with "How to make b..." and one of the suggestions was
How to make black coffee.
Isn't that obvious?
Option a) do it in the dark.
Option b) start with white coffee and take the milk out.

This trophy does look a bit like a star and a pineapple had a child.. I'm sure there's a CAD tool for that.
Extrude, revolve, pineapple star.

Today, the winning trophy from Christ Church Primary in East London left Ali's office with the always brilliant @philjemmett.bsky.social in order to be turned into the real 3D printed trophy for the Champion of Champions, taking place in June this year! 👏
Thanks, Phil - we can't wait to see it! 🏆

Well, this was an exciting start to a Wednesday. What a gentleman.
Not just Ali & James, but a special guest #Taskmaster too (with the real Taskmaster in NYC, of course).
With enormous thanks to the simply brilliant Sir Stephen Fry for taking on the role with gusto!
What an honour 🤩

#outreach and #publicengagement: be creative.
If a task has one answer, the students who know how to work it out will, and then have nothing to do, while those who don't, won't, and then have nothing to do.
You'll have to drag the momentum back up. It's going to tire you out as a presenter!

Where possible, I try through #SchoolTasking to support talented independent creators.
Kimberley's work is one example, but we've also commissioned many crocheted & needle-felted Alex Hornes (details of these below) & rely to a huge extent on the 3D printing prowess of @philjemmett.bsky.social 🤩

I did my final rehearsal for the #WarwickChristmasLectures yesterday. My audience was my daughter, 3, my wife (not pictured), and all her cuddly toys.
Your family are often your harshest critics, but always with love. Everybody needs practice. Don't forget to get those minutes in before a talk!
