I’m back @hellobrink after 6 months maternity leave and, sure, it’s a bit intimidating but it’s got all the perks of starting a new job without any of the pressure to make friends or look smarter than I am. 10/10 highly recommend.

& Brink has been up to some cool stuff 🧵

After 5 years in U.K. civil service and the last 3 years at @hellobrink working with gov in other countries, I’m still convinced of the role of gov as innovator.

But what does it take? And how does it vary in different contexts?

@AlejaDC @CamdenCouncil Awesome congrats on the new role!

[Alice Carter @ByAliceCarter]

I had a tonne of fun facilitating a session at #MWCBarcrlona a few weeks ago

Since then, I have been mulling on the Q - How will education be different 4 years from now? 🤔

BLUF: I’m optimistic but it’ll take a serious shift in the way things are done #edtech

[Alice Carter @ByAliceCarter]

Maybe (like me 2 years ago) the word “innovation” makes you cringe a bit.

At Brink this just means blending different approaches to solve big world challenges. Like how to use technology to improve education. Or how to scale assistive technologies. 🤓
