Latest News Towards a digital future Stakeholder Design and Polycom have been leading a unique experiment in online collaboration between the UK and New Zealand. Most recently, Sean delivered a multi-media keynote address to the top 250 business leaders in New Zealand using some amazing new technology, including two high definition video links, ‘weather forecaster’ screens and digital microscopes . The talk, which followed on from a speech by the Acting Prime Minister, showed how technology can support ‘borderless’ learning and help employees take their place within a global knowledge economy.
Project Faraday - Exemplar designs for science Stakeholder Design has been appointed by the DCSF as a project partner for Project Faraday - an ambitious attempt to redefine the science learning experience in British schools. Speaking in Parliament, Jim Knight, Minister of State for Schools, described Project Faraday as part of a “strategy to deliver the best in science teaching and learning.” Stakeholder Design is working with DEGW (an international architecture firm), Arup (ICT), At Large (exhibition design) and Manchester Metropolitan University’s Education team. Two schools have been selected as partners and hosts of the resulting designs: East Barnet School in London and Abraham Guest School in Wigan.
Stakeholder Design has been selected as one of only two recipients of funding in Futurelab’s latest call for ideas. Futurelab’s biannual competition, which attracted over 200 entries, provides up to £100,000 in funding for ideas that could help to transform the face of education. Stakeholder Design’s idea was to work with primary school children to conceive and build an intelligent fountain, capable of interacting with passers-by. The fountain will be owned and managed by the children, who will engage in collaborative and cross-curriculum learning as well as developing higher order thinking skills.
Towards a new paradigm The Institute of Education in London has asked Stakeholder Design to co-organise a one-day conference on how educational provision needs to change over the next 20 years. This prestigious conference, to be held on Wednesday 18 April, 2007, will challenge normal conventions of what teaching in 2020 will look like, with talks and workshops from internationally respected thought-leaders and young people working to make schools more interesting to end users.
