| I work part time for Hampshire Inspection & Advisory Service as a Computing Inspector/Advisor. I am more than happy to work within Hampshire or outside. You can find a list of Hampshire charges here.
Here are some of the things schools commonly ask help with: combining computing, DT, Art & Science STEM training using the Crumble microcontroller, designing a curriculum that suits them, training staff in all aspects of computing, modelling programming lessons, working with support staff on how to support computing without increasing pupils helplessness, helping schools design and think through the implications of major upgrades to their networks. I am happy to consider any request related to computing or school technology.
All my Hampshire Courses are here
