How to get – and keep – kids out of the motivational rut?
In the age of viral cat videos, Twitch streams and TikTok tutorials, textbooks are hardly a winning strategy to get through to children. Even if they’re on a mobile or tablet screen. Hands-on learning, however, might just be educators’ new superpower to teach kids not only how our world works but also how they can actively make it better.
What we will discuss
- How does maker ed help motivate young minds to explore, design and create – and learn along the way?
- Why is it essential for bringing STEAM into the classroom and getting kids excited about it?
- How can today’s schools keep students engaged while developing the skills they’ll need to solve tomorrow’s problems?
What you will learn
- Changing requirements of the digital age
- How schools can adapt to new needs
- Role and possibilities of constructivist pedagogy and hands-on, maker education
- Benefits of Maker’s Red Box course materials
