Hannah Lloyd is an educator, curriculum designer, and professional development leader who believes that creativity and problem-solving are for everyone—not just those with access to the latest tech or resources. With deep roots in rural education and a background in engineering and technology, Hannah brings a warm, practical, and empowering approach to everything she builds—whether it’s a classroom activity, a professional training, or a conversation about tech confidence.
She is currently completing her Ph.D. in Career and Technical Education, where her research focuses on how early exposure to engineering shapes the experience of women in STEM. She also completing a master’s degree in Technology and Engineering Education and has served as a university adjunct instructor supporting future STEM educators.
But more importantly—Hannah is still in the classroom. As an active high school engineering and woodshop teacher, she designs curriculum and strategies with real students, real constraints, and real impact in mind. That on-the-ground perspective is at the heart of The Tinker Table—an approach that is both visionary and realistic, rooted in actual learning environments.
She thrives in the messy, magical middle—where creativity meets structure, where failure becomes feedback, and where learning actually sticks.

Philosophy of Learning
Philosophy of Learning
"I believe students don’t just learn by hearing or reading—they learn by doing. By tinkering. By testing. By failing forward. Whether you're in a classroom or a clinic, the ability to think critically, create solutions, and lead with confidence is something that can be taught—and it should be taught early and often."
Outside the Workshop:
When she’s not leading a training or helping a student troubleshoot their prototype, you’ll find Hannah raising her four daughters, hunting down a good book, spending time outside, or turning her family’s latest DIY project into a learning experience. She lives in Missouri with her husband—a builder, maker, and creative in his own right—and believes the best classrooms often look a little like garages, kitchens, or back porches.
