Rhondda Powling on 14 Aug 15"Children learn through play and exploration. From floating sticks downstream to ducks in the tub, early lessons in how the world works come from play. By building upon play, a mode of learning that is rooted in curiosity and joy, we can engage our students in a truly authentic way. For instance, a project involving electronics can be launched with a session with circuit boards, or wood working with a one-block challenge. Both of these activities originate from two of my favorite resources for exploration-based maker activities: the Tinkering Studio at the Exploratorium, and the Makerspace at the New York Hall of Science.
