How do you understand the needs of students and educators 🧠 Meet Joshua.
Joshua brings a wealth of experience to his role as at LEGO® Education. His impressive track record is both wide and varied. He’s been a teacher. He’s coached teachers. Today, he draws on his background as our Curriculum Specialist.
"My passion has always been to make learning fun and impactful for students. Taking on this particular role at this particular organisation felt like a natural next step in my career. It allows me to combine my love for education with my belief in the power of play."
Joshua's role here is both multifaceted and dynamic.
“I help demonstrate how LEGO Education lessons align with the learning standards across all 50 states in the US. I help to produce materials that support our sales team in conversations and relationship building with school districts. I also get to produce content to help our users learn with all LEGO Learning Systems solutions. I even get to collaborate with our Product Experience team in Denmark.”
"I get to wear my 'school hat' often. My experience in the classroom informs my work, allowing me to create resources that are truly relevant and useful for teachers and students alike. It’s something I get a lot of satisfaction from.”
Joshua is particularly proud of his ability to help teachers create engaging and playful learning experiences for their students.
“Seeing our work in schools is incredibly meaningful. Having students and teachers share positive experiences with the products is very special. Sometimes one can feel removed from our mission being in an office. Being around when our products are in the hands of the curious minds they were designed for, well, that’s pretty special. The joy of learning right there before your eyes.”
Collaboration is at the heart of Joshua's work. He collaborates with colleagues across the globe, bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise to develop innovative solutions for complex challenges.
"The collaborative environment at LEGO Education is very inspiring and enriching. I'm constantly learning from my colleagues. So I was genuinely quite humbled to get a "rising star" award with some of my colleagues at the LEGO Education US Sales Conference last winter. It always feels good to know you’ve contributed to the team in an impactful way. Even more so as a new hire.”
Joshua also embraces the playful spirit that’s ingrained in our culture.
"Play is not just a part of our work; it's part of our everyday. We're encouraged to think outside of the box, experiment with new ideas, and have fun along the way. This creative and supportive environment is what makes LEGO Education such a special place to work."
