The rise of the Maker Movement that supports constructionism learning is an ideal approach to build STEM capability through setting up of Innovation Spaces, FabLabs or Makerspaces in Schools. The benefit of these inspiring spaces is that it accelerates the processes of ideation and invention through collaboration and creative problem solving.
Edutech assists in the layout design, fit-out, modular furniture, branding, equipment, technologies, consumables and curriculum resources for these learning spaces in schools. These educational spaces designed for project based learning can include best technologies for design and construction – such as 3D printers, laser cutters, hand tools, electronics, robotics and more.
Edutech with our deep expertise in these innovative spaces consult on the workspaces to include safety considerations, planning of consumables, operational processes apart from providing best of resources that will inspire making and build a making mindset.
Such spaces are a place for invention, creation, discovery and sharing, a space of inquiry where students learn and knowledge gets integrated into their personal interests and daily life.
Makerspaces
Whether you call them Innovation Hubs, Makerspaces, School Fablabs – it’s a learning space for innovating future solutions, to solve challenges facing our communities and the world through tinkering and making. In the makerspace teachers can play a role in inspiring learners through constructionist learning methods; introducing and exposing learners to essential STEAM and future life skills; enhancing students´ innovative capacities and entrepreneurial spirit — and create solutions in the process!
Edutech provides turnkey implementation from the design of a collaborative studio learning environment with modular furniture/storage, meaningful tools and technologies, and activities that empower students as entrepreneurs, changemakers, and problem-solvers.
Early Years Makerspace
In an early years makerspace - similar to a modern Reggio Atelier, children engage more deeply in learning as they pursue individual interests and learn by doing. By applying a constructivist approach, the Early years makerspace can foster creativity, problem-solving mindsets, and hands-on learning.
Children tinker, build, explore and invent using Edutech’s low-tech and high-tech resources through playful learning leading to gaining of subject knowledge and social and emotional development.
