Taskmaster Education: A taste of tasking
Part of BETT UK 2026Presented by James Blake-Lobb, Co-Head - Taskmaster Education, Ali Struthers, Co-Head - Taskmaster Education
Wednesday 21 January 2026·8:50 am
Dr Ali Struthers and James Blake-Lobb will share how Taskmaster Club is honing key skills, such as teamwork, lateral thinking, resilience, creativity, communication, and reasoning. Working as a team improves a child's sense of belonging, supporting their wellbeing, and the varied nature of tasks means that it's not always the same (sporty or academic) children who do well. Everyone has the chance to play their part, feel involved, and succeed. In this session, a special guest Taskmaster will help the Taskmaster Education team with some tasks that delegates can try out for themselves.
