Meet our founder Kate
Taking things apart as a child was fascinating to me (putting them back together was a different story!) School did not fulfill my need to learn with my hands as much as i would have liked and, even though working in the field of creative tech in education was very rewarding, I felt the need to reach back to the beginning. So, in 2015, Make Create Innovate was born. Motivated to learn about new technology but to move away from the screen and to design workshops and courses that connect creativity and technology with making. I am so proud of what we have achieved so far.
The hope is to have making as part of everyday life, giving young people and adults opportunities to reconnect with their innate creativity and joy of working with their hands to make, create and innovate.

Growing with a creative mindset
At Make Create Innovate we understand how valuable the integration of the arts is to learning for people of all ages and abilities. Every session we deliver demonstrates the benefit of combining creativity with interactive technology in enabling young people and adults to engage more meaningfully in formal and non-formal education settings.
We encourage failure as an essential part of the learning process and key to developing the ability to self reflect and to gain a deeper understanding of the responsibility we have to find our own answers to questions that arise on the learning journey, as well as the belief in knowing that we can improve, that our ability is a process of self-discovery.
“Make Create Innovate bring a unique combination of creativity, tech-savvy, and understanding of how we learn. Over a few hours, with the low-key guidance and positive encouragement of Kate and Siobhan, my class of Educators moved from a hesitant start, to enthusiastically showing off their new technical creations, followed by an excellent debrief on lessons learnt - around creativity, teamwork, experimenting and learning by doing along with insights on teaching their own students”.
