Fueling Creativity in a Changing World

My name is Matthew Worwood, and I am a creative academic and education consultant who helps educators, schools, and students harness design thinking, creative technologies, and generative AI to reimagine teaching, learning, and professional growth.

A Creative Academic

I consider myself a creative academic and education practitioner specializing in Design Thinking, Teacher Creativity, and the process of Co-Creativity in the age of Generative AI. My research and writing explore how educators can harness emerging technologies and creative frameworks to reimagine teaching, learning, and professional growth.

I co-host the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast and created the documentary roundtable series TeacherRoundtables.com, both of which spotlight bold ideas and diverse voices in education. I’m also the author of two forthcoming books on creativity and generative AI, published by Academic Press and Prufrock Press.

With nearly two decades of experience in education, I’ve developed innovative K–12 programs and consulted with schools and educators around the world to support creative teaching, sustainable innovation, and meaningful technology integration. Through speaking engagements, professional development, and strategic design, I help learning organizations foster cultures where creativity thrives.
