Learning Spaces
Every space we teach in is a Learning Space.
Think about any environment and venue as a learning space, both inside and outside the classroom.
Develop spaces where your learners would want to explore, learn and work in!
MakerSpaces
Re-purpose venues - Many schools have 'Technology Workshops' or 'Design and Technology' rooms, with a range of hand-tools and machine tools. These are often large classroom, with large desk-space, storage and research areas,
Convert these rooms into modern MakerSpaces, where learners can be explosed to programming (coding), robotics, app development, augmented reality and virtual reality, and other digital tools, such as 3D printers and laser-cutters.
