Bridge Building Podcast Episode 43: Datta Podcast: Mike King – Datta Conference 2023

 

Today, I’m speaking with Mike King. Now, Mike is talking to us at this year’s conference, and you can see him on the first day. And if you really want to see, you may have to push me out of the way, because I’ll be sitting right up the front, ready to go. Now, over the last few years, he has worked with his students to build some major technology projects, from scrap metal statues to caravans to electric vehicles. This is just a preview, a quick chat to let you know what to expect in just a few weeks time at the Datta Conference. Now, let’s have a quick chat with Mike.

 

Thank you Mike, it was great fun!

 

 

 

 

About the Bridge Building Podcast

“This is the place where we dissect and then discover the many ways ITD teachers all over this country are using their passion to create passionate students. We talk of measuring and manipulating a multitude of materials of design and divergent thought, of creation with our minds and with our hands. And most of all, we talk of growing great young people because of course that is what we do.”

So what does that mean other than I like to show off my alliteration skills? Since coming back to teaching a few years ago the thing that strikes me most, and frankly scared me most is how lonely this job is. How little we know about what is happening in our subject area. The classroom next door, a class in the next school, let alone the next town are a mystery to me. I know there are teachers out there doing incredible things and this (the podcast) is a way for me to find out and be inspired. I would like to invite you along to listen and learn, to be inspired by some of the sensational teachers I speak to on the “Bridge Building Podcast – from technology to the trades”

Over To You

If you know someone who is doing something spectacular or just great fun in design and tech or in trade training, I would love to know about them.
