PlaySpace Consultancy
Delivering playful learning
We work with government, brands, charities, agencies and other education-oriented organisations in the UK and worldwide.
01 — Strategy
You might only need some help shaping a concept or want to develop a full education programme plan. We work with you to understand your goals and needs and tailor solutions for maximum impact. We aim to provide suitable scalable solutions at any stage of your process.
We take an integral view of any projects with a passion for audience experiences, teasing out the best curriculum fit and pedagogical approach and supporting this with content that sings, design that wows, and solutions that work.
We offer detailed Curriculum and Content Mapping, web and video scoping, as well as specialised social media strategy and outreach in and out of schools.
02 — Content Development
We are experienced at developing online and offline resources for UK and international partners wishing to reach audiences for children and young people aged 6 and over, their schools and parents - including competitions, challenges, events, resource packs . We develop resources with time poor teachers, organisations and parents in mind, seeking to answer their needs as simply and efficiently as possible.
Play/Space can also help you create, develop and manage your digital presence, in partnership with creative and development agency Loopdesign.
03 — Marketing and Outreach
Even the most brilliant resource needs to find its audience. We know how to talk to schools to establish trusted relationships that last, and embed outreach in our work from the word go, understanding the importance of great content, great design and the importance of timing.
03 — Workshops & Events
We can help you develop, design and deliver bespoke online and offline workshops, events and exhibitions for schools, museums, festivals that will delight your audience and make your programme stand out from the crowd.
04 — CPD & Training
We recognise the need to support teachers and professionals as they grow in their career. We can create tailored Continuous Professional Development sessions in person or as materials to support employees and volunteers, and train the trainers.
“For over 5 years I teamed up with her on a multi-faceted STEM educational project for Canadian kids.
Katherine absolutely rocks! I was impressed with her ability to consider strategic issues, creative concepts and practical considerations. She managed the project from the high-level creative concept brainstorming to dotting every i and crossing every t on the final deliverables.
Her focus on the power of storytelling as a mechanism to help convey scientific content was particularly effective. I have yet to work on a project where I am more proud of the product, the strategy and the creative quality than Little Inventors, and all thanks to Katherine!”
