## Resource

Childhood movement skills — hopping, skipping, throwing, catching — have collapsed globally. But one Irish spin-out is changing that story. Dr Jamie McGann, co-founder of MoveAhead , joins Maeve Kneafsey on Transform Gov to reveal how his Dublin-based team built the world’s largest dataset of children’s movement , and how it’s now driving apps, curricula, and classrooms from Ireland to China. In this award-winning collaboration with Smart D8 , MoveAhead helps teachers objectively assess movement, personalise PE through AI, and bring physical literacy back into the heart of education. Learn how Irish innovation can tackle one of the biggest health and education challenges of our time.
