Our volunteers have been instrumental in editing, authoring and informing our resources, and their support has made an enormous difference. We salute them!

Game designers

Douglas van Hoffen

Douglas is an engineering student at Newcastle University. Since childhood, Douglas has spent countless hours designing board games. Eventually, he also started designing computer games. Doug hopes his game is an enjoyable way for children to build maths skills.

Editing

Nadine was the founder of the Early Childhood Education courses at the University of New England. Nadine agreed to ‘come out of retirement’ to help with the final editing of our Educator Resources as the Editor in Chief. We are very grateful for her interest and commitment.
