  • Organising a round table event on STEM skills.
  • Continuing to develop plans for the Nesta Digital Education strategy for the next 12 months, including a new project that is developing.
  • Meeting (albeit virtually) with Maureen from Khan Academy and exploring how our trial of Flipped Learning links with their work.
