Host of the documentary “All in the Mind”, and co-host of the TV Series “The Secret life of Girls”, Nathan Wallis, Aotearoa’s renowned neuroscience educator, has been captivating audiences over 250 times per year to sell out events in New Zealand, Australia, & China.
With a profound reputation as a lively and engaging speaker, Nathan uses humour and plain language to condense twenty-five years of neuroscience research into his unique ‘tell you how it is’ style. You’ll be absolutely captivated and walk away jam-packed with more than a few “ahha” moments.
Nathan’s talks will be of interest to anyone who is committed to understanding the workings of their own brain and improving the quality of their lives, regardless of whether they have children or not.

1. The Developing Brain – The Big Picture – A summary of all of his talks
2. Understand Your Brain – The First 1000 Days
3. Engage Your Brain – 2-7-Years
4. Change Your Brain! Change Your Life! – Neuroplasticity and your brain

In Anne Taylor’s world, art, architecture and education are one—integrated within the total ecology of the order in the universe. Based on the new philosophy of Ecosopy (Arne Naess), the design of learning environments, architectural programming for schools, curriculum development and professional development for teachers spring from this clear sense of the world as a whole and as a very useful teaching – learning tool—if not a “textbook” of the future. We live in the built, natural and cultural environment, why do we not use it to help students understand the world in which they live P/K-12+?
After earning her MA and Ph.D. from Arizona State University, she joined the faculty at the University of New Mexico in the Art Education Department and later the School of Architecture and Planning. She became and ACSA Distinguished and Regents professor there. She also worked collaboratively with architects from Alaska to New Orleans to California to program and design schools and playground landscapes as three-dimensional teaching-learning tools.
Taylor wrote with architect George Vlastos design education curriculum published by School Zone Institute where she was founder and president. Recently she produced with the help of consultants, videos for teachers and children with directions for learning many design concepts from schematic drawing to model building. These tools set up an instructional model for creative problem solving and the value of creative visual thinking for all students. It gives children power to solve problems and to contribute their ideas to society. In Alaska she and Vlastos designed a Phantasmagoria architecture children’s exhibit for the Anchorage Museum of History and art. 250,000 visitors attended.
Dr. Taylor has written many books among including “Linking Architecture and Education: Sustainable Design of Learning Environments”, “School Zone: Learning Environments for Children” (with Vlastos) and an “Architecture and Children Guidebook” and learning posters for teachers.
Dr. Taylor and Albert Liang are collaborating to sponsor new models of learning environments and design education internationally.
In 2019 Taylor was honored by the National American Institute of Architects with the Collaborative Achievement Award.
