Maths-Whizz in Birmingham!
The God of Whizz needs a slap on the wrist. Whizz went to Birmingham’s NEC at the beginning of the month to show off Maths-Whizz to thousands of teachers and administrators who attended the Education Show 2010 and here, belatedly, is a brief round-up of the proceedings.
Whizz was shortlisted in two categories for the Education Show Awards (ERA Awards) – Supplier of the Year and Exporter of the Year. The show was another great opportunity to mix it amongst teachers and administrators who know and love Maths-Whizz, and those have yet to see the light (for shame!).
To correct the latter, Customer Service manager Natalie M, Product Manager Natalie S, and Sales Wizard Liam showed up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to spread the word. The Nats had already done sterling work organising our presence at the show and managing our award entries.
Liam, Nat, and Nat!

Just a quick exhortation and encouragement to visit the city of Birmingham in 33 days, 18 hours, 20, 19, 18… minutes.
Whizz Education will be exhibiting at stand S8E (floorplan) from the 4th-6th March. The fair Natalies will be on hand to guide visitors through the delights of Maths-Whizz Tutoring and Teachers’ Resource tools, fresh from our awards shortlisting at BETT 2010.
To get a sense of what we’ll be up to, you can check out our Whizz Education exhibitor page or stroll down the ‘Education Show BETT Boulevard‘.
If you’re not sure what The ‘BETT Boulevard’ is (and I wasn’t), the AV Interactive blog helpfully explains:
A selection of exhibitors from the BETT show have been chosen to showcase their products at the Education Show 2010, which runs from 4-6 March at the NEC, Birmingham.
Due to growth in exhibitor demand, BETT Boulevard has been expanded and is now located in the For Your School area. Some of the exhibitors featured in BETT Boulevard include NumberGym Software Rentnote, Whizz Education, Rapid English Consultants and Spysure.
The Education Show 2010 is free to attend and is the UK’s largest exhibition of educational resources, regularly attracting over 15,000 visitors.

As in the last three years, the 2010 BETT Show played host to the Maths boffins of Whizz Education and this year the Awards committee saw fit to nominate us in two categories.The dust has settled, the leads collected and the awards show hangover a distant memory – so, how did we do?

Whizz Education is a finalist for TWO awards at the 2010 BETT Awards.
The awards for which Whizz is a finalist are:
ICT Exporter of the Year
ICT Education Partnership
This is fab news, but for those of you not fully au fait with the world of educational technology, some background might be in order. The BETT awards accompany the annual British Educational Training and Technology show, held at London Olympia.
The BETT show is generally held to be Europe’s largest educational technology event, and is a huge draw for forward-thinking educators and industry from the rest of the world.
It’s therefore an honour to be shortlisted alongside companies like Encyclopedia Britannica and Promethean.
We’ll keep you posted on how we get on. Keep your fingers crossed!
UPDATE: Visit us at Stand R34 from the 13th to the 16th January 2009.
Check out our BETT Show listing.
Find us on the BETT Show floor plan (Grand Hall Gallery).
UPDATE (20/01/10): Get the report from the BETT Show 2010 and our showing at Wednesday’s awards ceremony, with pics!
