Taskmaster Club launched in schools in Autumn 2023. In the club sessions, a school Taskmaster is ably assisted by Little Alex Horne himself, as he sets tasks for the children that test their powers of creativity, lateral thinking, problem-solving and collaboration.
Taskmaster Club is a paid-for club that can be set up in primary or secondary schools, with home educators, or by other groups, such as youth clubs, holiday schemes or Scouts and Guide groups, anywhere in the world.
In recognition of his role in the School Tasking outreach project, Taskmaster creator and star, Alex Horne, has been invited by the University of Warwick to receive an Honorary Doctorate. Alex’s support for the project since it first piloted at Warwick Law School in 2021-22 has helped School Tasking to grow into a national competition across 26 mainland UK universities from September this year.
In response to receiving his invitation, Alex said:
On Saturday 16 September, Taskmaster Education Live is coming to the Warwick Arts Centre on campus at the University of Warwick!
