HOW TO BE AN INVENTOR
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our belief is that children learn best when they don't know that they are learning. Most of the learning happens through games and project, and instructional teaching is kept to a minimum. Our fun games teach techniques proven to lead to innovative thinking (like associational thinking, analogical and narrative reasoning) which children apply to their project.
We
recommend children work in small teams, since in our experience it leads to
better and more original ideas. If you are joining the course with your
friends, and would like to be on the same team, please let us know and we'll
accommodate that.
Children also
learn tips on how to present their ideas and teams have to pitch their
inventions to others. They learn how to give constructive feedback and also how
to receive critical feedback.
There is a weekly
homework, mostly fun, which should take ~20-30 mins to do.
And by the
end of the course, your team would have earned endless bragging rights for your
cool invention!
