Looking forward to having you over to the York School to show off our new space. Just to give you some context this space (new this year) is the result of over seven years of slowly building our MYP design programme and elevating design & making at the York School. I’m excited to share with…Read more

This sounds like a really exciting opportunity for you! If you have a chance, check out @crussell‘s blog: http://cohort21.com/cathyrussell/

Her action plan last year was focused on creating a makerspace as well – you might find some inspiration there!

You and your team have brought Maker culture to Branksome Hall and the writing is on the wall…..literally!!!!! Reading your posts throughout the year I could not help but smile and watch as you brought design thinking into the Junior School and the girls just ate it up! I would often share your posts with our Grade 2…Read more

It is perfect. MY colleague @ashaikh is building something similar at York and so is @crussell at Branksome Hall so our network of Primary Makers is growing!

@rarcher is UCC playing in this space as well?

I love how this summative task gave the students the opportunity to explore with various materials and tools. It is so rewarding to see how innovative the youngest learners are. My last blog post was called “Thinking Outside the Box”. My reflections were based on the notion that we as educators need to remove the…Read more

You really need to hop on over to @crussell ‘s blog (http://cohort21.com/cathyrussell/2015/12/13/what-does-design-thinking-look-like-in-sk/) to check out what she is doing. She is wrestling with the same ideas and would be a great resource as you push forward on your action plan!

Glad to see the process of your learning so eloquently laid out. Your next steps are great as well – I think I also left with about 3 or 4 ‘How might I” questions, so don’t feel like you are the only one. It looks like the student-led conferences have sparked an area to focus on – imagine a co-designed action…Read more
