Innovative Global Education

Built to Learn
Workshop Descriptor:
Build to Learn will focus on classroom practice that can support students on diverse and personal learning journeys, and how “deep dive” learning balances with traditional classroom structure. Many schools add Making and Design to promotional materials before deeply considering the material, pedagogical and teaching challenges implied by those terms.
In this workshop, participants will each design and build a personally compelling project that mixes physical construction, basic circuits and programming.  Teachers will return to their classrooms with a complete exemplar project and the raw materials for new student projects. More importantly, each participant will have engaged in an authentic learning process and structured reflection. As it should be with our students, it will be with us: the work is the learning and the learning is the work.
