She started at her dining room table. Today, she’s taught over 250,000 young people across the world.
In this episode, I sit down with Leonie Briggs, founder of AmazeLab, who turned a moment of chaos during lockdown into a national movement for STEM education.
What began as a mission to keep science fun and accessible for kids during COVID quickly grew into live lessons broadcast to the entire UK — all from her home in Barnsley.
She shares how it all started, what it’s like to teach science with exploding rainbows, and the quote that defines her purpose:
“You never know who’s in front of you — maybe the first person to step on Mars.”
This is more than a story about education. It’s about belief, legacy, and choosing to act even when you’re scared.
