Sergio Coronado set up ‘Luxembourg Tech School’ - a new extracurricular school to support the development of future Digital Leaders. It is aimed at 13-19 years old students who are passionate about the digital realm and eager to learn and apply technology in a real business context.
LTS is now in more than 7 schools and is coaching more than 120 students. Students follow a Business and Technology program divided into three blocks. They get personalized coaching and work on their own projects, which they showcase at the end of each block.
We discuss how Sergio got this up and running and also how you could set up a similar program in your school.

This podcast is also brought to you by Acer for Education. People ask us what Chromebooks we recommend for schools and after trying them all we always recommend Acer.
We’ve been to Acer HQ in Taiwan to be part of product discussions and they are genuinely the best thought out, and most importantly durable devices out there for schools to use.
They are always innovating, including the first tablet running Chrome and the first convertible touch screen Chromebook. The latest version is the Spin 11 with Stylus and 2 cameras and we highly recommend it!
They also, of course, have a full range of windows laptops and for eSports fans, their Predator gaming range is second to none.

This is the first in an occasional series of podcasts I want to do on one of my favorite topics ‘teacher entrepreneurs’. Many teachers are looking to start an entrepreneurial endeavor as a ‘side hustle’ and some to do it full time. We hear the stories of teachers who are doing just that!
Andy Fossett has had an interesting entrepreneurial journey. He moved to Japan to teach in a rural school where he was the only foreigner. He transitioned to founding GMB - a company providing online fitness training. They also run in-person workshops around the world.
