On Making and teaching/presentation:

Gil Poznanski is a dedicated and highly skilled maker with a strong focus on community learning and skills development. His attitude towards innovation and technical inquiry make him an asset to any organisation looking to build a culture of technical innovation.
While working with Gil at City of Melbourne, Gil established one of the most comprehensive Maker Events I have ever seen as part of Melbourne Knowledge Week. This Mini Make Day event is a perfect example of Gil’s ability to establish and build a community of interest in technology and maker culture.Gil successfully delivered a broad range of public programs through City of Melbourne focused on creative skills development. As a team we delivered more than 200 events for more than 5000 members of the community and Gil was instrumental in organising and delivering workshops, events and maker programs.

Gil’s genuine passion and enthusiasm for technology is infectious! I was fortunate to have met Gil at the EduTECH expo in 2018. Since then, he has been a wealth of knowledge and inspiration and I cannot speak highly enough about him. His approachable demeanour, determination to empower others, professionalism and energy make Gil an absolute asset to any company!

Gil’s expertise in 3D printing helped me find my own way in the field. His clear, concise (and fun!) workshops at Docklands library provided everything I needed to know to start exploring 3D modelling and printing. Gil is an excellent teacher, and his willingness to support newcomers really made the experience a welcoming one.

Gil knows how to communicate to us all even having fun when we wouldn’t answer. He is a great person to have in the library as more libraries need someone like him to help the next generation of computer minds.

It was great working with Gil – informative, funny and inspiring. He really supported his team and fellow educators to collaborate and create, facilitating teachers to up-skill and constantly seek ways to push the learning envelope. I look forward to working with you again, Gil!

Gil is the 21st Century renaissance man. Someone gifted with incredible creativity and the ability to make even the most desensitised hyperconnected people stop in awe by his use of technology to deliver spectacular experiences. Beyond technical prowess, Gil’s moral compass and desire to change the world for the better makes him someone you would certainly like to have around!
Sergio Brodsky

Head of Stratagy, Initiative

Gil is an exceptional educator and I can’t speak highly enough of him. I engaged Gil to run a series of kids ‘build your own computer’ workshops and the combination of the magic of the technology and Gil’s energy, leadership and ability to inspire kids, meant we had a winning formula on our hands.

I highly recommend Gil for your next kids’ tech learning event – he’ll encourage your group of young people to learn about tech through play and experience – this truly is 21st-century learning.

On Media :

I worked closely with Gi Poznanski on a television drama pitch, and have found him an excellent and enthusiastic collaborator and a hard worker. He has extensive knowledge of TV and film production and a keen eye for screenplays and production realities. I would not hesitate to work with him again or to recommend him.

Over the years, I’ve had many discussions with Gil about film production techniques, and I’ve always enjoyed Gil’s creativity and unique, original ideas.
Mark Sullivan

I strongly recommend Gil Poznanski for any job that requires quick thinking, great organizational skills and a pleasant demeanor when working with people.Gil juggled many special projects, and is extremely hard working and highly motivated. At first, many teachers resisted the idea of doing things differently, but Gil was so adept at communicating his vision that it was ultimately adopted and embraced.  I wish all our contemporaries could have been as kind and friendly as Gil. Any company that hires Gil will find their money well spent.
