At the Lifelong Kindergarten Group, we believe that people learn best when they are actively engaged in creating projects that are meaningful to them.
As a research assistant in the group, I facilitated over 15 different workshops that engage people with our research group’s ideas. I worked with groups of children, educators, youth counselors and researchers, and ran workshop on different topics related to creative learning, with different tools (Scratch, MaKey MaKey, LEGO WeDo, Paper Electronics and more)
A few example include:
