Dan Thomas

I am a passionate STEM educator with over 30 years of experience integrating hands-on learning, project-based learning (PBL), and playful education into classrooms. As a certified LEGO Trainer and advocate for the LEGO Serious Play methodology, I focus on fostering creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking through interactive activities. My expertise spans various subjects, including engineering, coding, robotics, and AI in education.

In addition to teaching, I provide professional development for educators, helping them incorporate PBL and innovative teaching strategies into their classrooms. My goal is to inspire teachers to rethink their approach, infusing play and real-world relevance into their lessons. Through my work, I aim to create dynamic, engaging learning environments that prepare students for the future.

When I'm not in the classroom, you can find me podcasting about STEM, education, and even a little bit of golf.
