Loved having Will’s @GreenpixieHQ expertise on the panel 👏👏👏
Check out what #sustainableproducts some of the teams built on our blog! planes.studio/blog
Our CTO and Co-founder, Will Tinney, had the pleasure of helping to judge @PlanesStudio's inclusive #hackathon last month, joining a diverse panel of senior tech decision-makers. Participants from underrepresented groups formed teams to build a #sustainability -based app.

Awesome to see the #SkinRocks app featured in @StylistMagazine
We had the BEST time working with Caroline and the Skin Rocks team, building the app helping to demystify your skincare routine 💅
30k downloads... and that was just the soft launch 🤯

We have a new website which is carbon conscious💚
Its designed and developed with the environment in mind so its cleaner than ~79% of web pages (tested via Website Carbon Calculator).
Say hello to the new Planes brand and website! 👋
We’ve rebooted everything from our TOV, brand colours, proposition and illustration style.
A new look to reflect our approach to product, the fun we have as a team — and it’s more carbon-friendly too planes.studio/

I was teaching children about the scale of the universe last week and realised they had absolutely no concept about how big numbers really are. They saw millions, billions and trillions as not much different...so I had to use some analogies to help them...

A couple of great resources shared by the team this week around the topic of inclusive design:
1. @HereIAmStudio1 and the awesome work they've done with social impact orgs like @YoungMindsUK @girleffect to build inclusive products and reach audiences that are often overlooked 🌏

Today I heard on the radio the view that RIBA presents architecture for architects. This is an interesting perspective considering we reach more than 100K public audiences in a ‘normal’ year (bearing in mind our gallery is super small) and has engaged more than 30K school...

In my experience, the single greatest impactor on educational standards is class size. Classes of 20 make so much more progress than classes of 30. Classes of 15 or less are the ultimate.

You’ve had some fab responses already. To add... here’s a blog on CPA approach: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/…
Agree with others... CPA isn’t a hierarchy, it can deepen understanding. Establish a learning culture where all pupils access resources/manipulatives to explore learning 👍😊

I am writing my assignment on the effectiveness of the Concrete Pictorial Abstract approach in Mathematics when teaching KS1 - are there any obvious disadvantages to using this approach? TIA @MrTs_NQTs
