Taskmaster Education

We use the format of the British comedy TV show to develop teamwork, problem solving, reasoning, creativity and much, much more. Along with my partner in tasking, Dr Ali Struthers, I run Taskmaster Education where we produce Taskmaster Club for young people and educators to enjoy all around the world. On this page I’m collating previous blogs post and podcast appearance in one place. They are posted below with the most recent ones nearest to the top.
