Episode #93: Jenny Cooke – Inspiration, challenges and amazing fieldwork

In this episode of GeogPod John Lyon speaks with Jenny Cooke, the founder of Oddizzi, about what inspired her to pursue geography and create Oddizzi.

Jenny’s goal is to create adaptable, flexible and supportive resources for geography teachers that inspire young children and make them look forward to their lessons. To accomplish this Jenny and her team have visited some amazing locations, including the Amazon Rainforest, Antarctica, and more! Jenny gives us an insight into what it takes to create their resources and anecdotes from some of her trips.

Find out what the 2041 School challenge is and the free videos about Antarctica that you can use in the classroom to inspire students to become Antarctica champions. Jenny also gives some clues about future projects to watch out for!
