Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarco Van Schagen is a STEM and education outreach founder with nine years of experience designing hands-on technology workshops, makerspaces and IoT learning programs for schools and MBOs across North Holland. He leads Junior IOT Onderwijs and Stichting Junior IOT, creating scalable formats like the Junior IoT Challenge, Saturday drop-ins and a mobile tech workshop in a themed city bus that turned outreach into a sustainable foundation. With a background in software engineering, BI and IoT coordination at organizations from Reed Elsevier to municipal Datalab projects, he blends technical depth in data, electronics and cloud migration with practical curriculum design. Marco regularly operates as an independent consultant (Dataschrift), troubleshooting complex data and migration challenges while translating solutions into enduring classroom materials and teacher-facing "teach-the-teacher" playbooks. He is driven by enabling 21st-century skills—soldering, 3D printing, microcontroller programming and computational thinking—so kids not only try technology but keep building on it. An unexpected strength is his knack for turning publicity and simple physical assets (a bus, open inloops) into long-term educational ecosystems rather than one-off events.
