The Taskmaster Education team will be taking to the Arena stage at the BETT Show 2025.
We will be joining thousands of educators from around the world at the ExCeL London on January 22nd to kick off the proceedings with a task or two for delegates to attempt.
BETT is a huge conference, bringing together thousands of visitors with hundreds of exhibitors and presenters. The main focus of the exhibition is technology and training in the education sector.
Want to develop a sense of community and pride at your school while encouraging teamwork, creativity and fun? Team Tasking from Taskmaster Education is just the thing and it’s completely free for schools and other groups to get involved with, anywhere in the world.
Schools across the country came together at The University of Warwick this week for the first-ever national School Tasking final, hosted by Taskmaster’s Alex Horne, in front of over 800 Year 5 children.
From memory tasks to turning classmates into snowmen, the final was described by one audience member as “a school day I’ll never forget”.
Taskmaster Education are teaming up with the brilliant YouTube channel, Kids Invent Stuff, for a very special task in an upcoming series of Taskmaster Club.
During the first half of the Autumn 2024 term, a special Prize Task will involve designing a fabulous invention to help Little Alex Horne. Once the designs are submitted, one will be chosen by Alex and the winning design brought to life by the team at Kids Invent Stuff.
This year Taskmaster Education are again teaming up with children’s mental health charity, Place2Be, for Children’s Mental Health Week from 5-11 February 2024.
Today, Taskmaster creator and star, Alex Horne, receives an honorary doctorate from the University of Warwick in recognition of his support for Warwick Law School’s hugely successful primary outreach project, School Tasking.
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! Families will join Little Alex Horne and the Taskmaster Education team for a day of fun, where children can have a go at exciting tasks set up around campus and be in with the chance of joining Alex on stage for some action-packed, nonsensical Taskmaster fun in the live show.
Alex Horne: Really needs no introduction, but if we had to give one: Taskmaster’s Assistant, the show’s creator, frontman of the Horne Section, and the face of Taskmaster Club.
Favourite Task: “Impress this mayor” Series 2
Favourite Taskmaster Contestant: Not really allowed one, but he does enjoy it when his mates are on.
