About Us

We understand learning and technology.

We understand how they work together. We know that with the right opportunity and enough enabling technology, learning and creativity can thrive. We would love to show you how it works.

Cleveratom is a specialist company which aims to nurture creativity through the use of new and emerging technologies. We work with a range of organisations and explore opportunities for developing their learning environments and a major aspect of this is making sure there is a personalised approach to learning. We advise on school design and how to maximise the use of technology, working extensively within the ‘Building Schools for the Future’ program. In helping schools and organisations understand the potential for incorporating the use of technology, we run workshops and training events which use digital creativity as a starting point. Within all of this we will build web based applications to support and extend the work we do, and better meet the needs of our clients. In short, we articulate with our clients the possible ways forward, we run training sessions and workshops and demonstrate how this works, and we build innovative solutions to underpin the process.
