Tobias new Head of Education at H20

As of September 1, Tobias van der Stelt has started as Head of Education at H20 Campus. Tobias brings years of experience as an educator and innovator at the intersection of technology and learning. After four years in Silicon Valley, where he set up the quality control department of online classes and worked as a teacher at Synthesis.com, an edtech startup that grew out of Elon Musk's spaceX school, and ran as a first staff member at Recess.gg in setting up an online community for homeschooling and education development through gamification - he now chooses to start a new chapter at H20.

In his role as Head of Education, Tobias focuses on two main tasks: implementing new technological innovations for and with education together as well as deepening the educational impact of social projects within H20.
Some of the projects Tobias is directly involved in:
Minecraft at the Museon-Omniversum, where young people learn about climate change and technology through gamification;

Learning programming through gaming, in partnership with Samsung Benelux;

And a new partnership with Young Impact, which encourages young people to use their talents for a better world, with technology as the driving force.

"After an extraordinary period in Silicon Valley, it felt like the right time to refocus on innovation in the Netherlands - for the love and for the chance to make a difference here at H20," Tobias said. "Education is on the brink of a revolution, and I believe that innovation, technology, gamification and creativity play a key role in it." "Exactly what I have found at H20."

"With his international experience in edtech and innovative education, H20 sees in Tobias the ideal person to take its educational program to a higher and deeper level," said Matthijs Vink, CEO of H20. "We want to attract both edtech start-ups and innovative schools to collaborate with the H20 campus, we believe with Tobias' arrival this can be accelerated."
