Testimonials"Matt is probably one of the most motivated, enthusiastic characters I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The young people love him and the teachers appear to respect him. I also believe that beyond the bubbly facade there resides a very genuine and decent man. Sessions are well organised and practical (everybody gets involved) and never boring. They are well thought out and offer a range of scientific input which leaves further opportunity for development post-session." Chris Paul, Serco Services www.serco.co.uk I have worked with Matt for a number of years
and have seen the service mature and improve. At first, the sight
of two hundred excited children in a hall is always going to look
like chaos but Matt has the ability to take all that energy and channel
it into an experience that develops the children's life experience "Matt Bagley, and his team from 'Camouflaged
Learning', always put together an enormously successful day of relevant
Science activities. The. 'Meteor Strike on Earth' day really enthused
our students, with them talking about the activities weeks after the
event; and an extremely successful 'Space Day' in year 8 had staff
and students chuckling for weeks, when we thought back to the activities
completed on the day. We are just about to extend the 'Camouflaged
Learning' activities into year 9, with 'The Green way to run the 2012
Olympics' - no doubt this will be as successful as the other events
Matt's team has put on for us. I highly recommend 'Camouflaged Learning'
to all of you out there, if you want to add that special extra to
the Science curriculum." "Matt's enthusiasm is infectious. Everyone
involved - students, volunteers and teachers - are engaged and excited
by the challenges he sets. Giving students the chance to find practical
solutions to real problems thoroughly embeds their learning and inspires
them to think about industry after education. Matt's style and unashamed
joy in his subject are key to the projects' success." "I have worked with Matt on a variety
of science and enterprise initiatives across Norfolk since May 2002
when he supported the Adult Learner's Week celebration of achievement
in lifelong learning at RAF Coltishall. "Matt
can run sensible, organised, well planned and thought out events.
Luckily though, most of the time he manages to fight that urge and
instead runs events that are enormous fun, hugely entertaining, and
massively engrossing for all those involved - both participants and
helpers. The amazing thing is how much people learn from them, without
realising it till much too late. True camouflaged learning!" "I was invited to assist the Camouflaged
Learning crew out recently. I had no idea what to expect apart from
possible carnage and I have to say I certainly wasn't disappointed
on that front. The day was noisy, messy and yet somehow even an old
duffer like me learned something, even if it was only that if you
present science in a fun and involving way way somehow the kids just
want to join in. My memories of the day will be the faces of the students,
that went from indifference through determination, joy and devastation
and then the smiles when it was all over. Oh, and spaghetti. Lots
and lots of spaghetti. And rubber bands. And bamboo. Hopefully I'll
be able to get all the spaghetti out of my socks in time to hang them
over the fire for Santa. A great day, not just for the kids but for
those involved in running it too." "Matt
Bagley has a terrifying ability to be at ease in front of two hundred
students and to win them over in just a few sentences. He is a charming
public speaker and a superb motivator with endless enthusiasm for
getting kids interested in actually achieving something." "Matt
and his Camouflaged Learning team put on an amazing day that was challenging,
educational and enjoyable in equal measures. I've never seen the kids
so enthusiastic or inspired, and the effect they had has stayed with
us in school even now. I couldn't recommend them more highly."
"As
a teacher, I'm often skeptical about people coming into schools but
these guys were just brilliant. The kids had an amazing day, and were
enthralled and occupied throughout, and looking back now I can see
that there was a huge amount of learning going on to. I hate to admit
it, but they were actually better than us!" |
