Reflections on the workshop
Some of the points articulated during the presentation based on the Workshop.
Children
Observations
- Shaan was a good example of an iterative attitude - as he wanted to make two bugs - Children want to make together - Most often we are lead to believe that something things lead to distractions…but they actually do not. They are part of the process
Insights
- Some chose to add switches ( reference- Constructionism- building the knowledge up ) - Some chose to decorate it further - Some played with the mechanics, battery position - Some played only with changing positions of sketch pens
- Learning from watching: watching Vikram solder. Getting inspired from others - Information sharing- Manu was most curious about everything. Shared information about various things. - Children hesitate with things they don’t know about. They need to watch and learn the know hows
