Local Business Heroes: Renee Watson from The Curiosity Box

Local Business Heroes: Renee Watson from The Curiosity Box

In this week's Critchleys Conversation we speak to Renee Watson, Founder and 'Head of Explosions', at The Curiosity Box, an Oxfordshire based company on a mission to make science accessible for all children.

They currently offer a subscription service of science-oriented activities for kids aged 7 to 11. Renee was the 2017 winner of the prestigious Women In Science England (WISE) Toy Award and was recently mentioned by Melinda Gates as one of the 8 women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths to look out for in 2018.

Renee shares a lot with us, including:

  • The power of doing something you love
  • The secret of how to recruit (and retain) great people
  • How to run a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign
  • How she became a 'go to person' for her area
