Unleashing Educational Potential

Collective intelligence in your classroom

All learners arrive to school with a plethora of knowledge and experience. We help teachers make this knowledge explicit and work with students to weave it together to create knowledge and insights from the ground up.

Public speaking

With experiences across 5 continents and in a wide range of sectors, Chris is an asset to any speaking line-up.
Chris can speak about a wide range of themes including the futures of education, social and technological disruption, building collective intelligence, strategic thinking and beyond.
Chris regularly speaks to a diverse range of audiences within and beyond the education sector and has graced the stage at conferences such as TedX and Singularity University.

Futures Education

"The only constant in life, is change" Heraclitus

Never before has this been more true and this is having significant impacts on the well-being and preparedness of our young people.

Chris has worked at the forefront of helping kids develop futures literacies that enable them to think creatively and critically about the future.

About us

Twenty years ago our founder Chris Clay began exploring approaches that would treat the diverse learners in a classroom as a knowledge ecosystem rather than a set of individuals. Following some startling results, STEM unleashed was created in order to support teachers to nurture vibrant knowledge building communities in their schools.

As our skills relating to knowledge building have developed so has our ability to apply this to professional learning. Working with a wide range of organisations we help teams of educators maximise the potential of diversity in order to make more sense of their contexts and seek out novel ways of overcoming challenges.

Our team have a vast wealth of experience in consultancy and research. As well as schools and Universities, we have worked with a range of NGOs, government departments and other organisations including The Smithsonian Institute, Singularity University, Microsoft, The New Zealand Council for Educational Research and Principals Australia.

Chris is also an accomplished public speaker who has delivered keynote talks at many international conferences as well as speaking on the TEDx stage and the Singularity UNZ Summit. Chris is also a Partner at Strategic futures consultancy We Create Futures and a faculty member at Boma.
