In this episode, I’m visiting three people all working in maker education.

My first stop is at the Shenzhen American International School in the Shekou district of Shenzhen, to meet Carrie Leung, who teaches a maker-based curriculum there.

Just down the road from SAIS is Steamhead Makerspace. Set up by James Simpson, it’s a space where a community of teachers can learn from each other.

My final visit was to see Lit Lao, who’s the founder of Litchee Lab. They design maker education content for schools, to help kids develop their creative skills.
