WHAT IS A MAVEN?
Maven /ˈmeɪvən/ noun
A person with expert knowledge or understanding in a particular field.
We create community programs,
school-holiday experiences and festival activations
designed specifically for the wider community... with a Maven Hub spin on it!
Home-education is at the heart of Maven. (See About Us)
We also create opportunities specifically for homeschool families - connecting children with experts, businesses, workplaces, organisations
and experiences they may otherwise miss.
Whatever the setting, the idea is the same: give children meaningful access to people who know, make, build, create, solve, teach and do interesting things in the real world.

Keeping costs fair
For some Maven collaborations,
I choose not to charge for any of the time I spend planning and coordinating them.
Where I can, I also seek grants, partnerships or community funding so families aren’t carrying costs that can be covered another way.
If a session has a fee,
it reflects the real costs involved and will always be clear before you book.
