“Today’s children will face a continual stream of new issues and unexpected challenges in the future. To thrive, they must learn to design innovative solutions to the unexpected problems that will undoubtedly arise in their lives.” – Mitchel Resnick, Professor of Learning Research at the MIT – Find out more

Projects. Peers. Passion. Play

Every Neurons activity follows the constructionist principles of Professor Mitchel Resnick’s Creative Learning Spiral and his philosophy of projects, peers, passion and play outlined below.

Projects

Children learn best when they are actively working on meaningful projects – generating new ideas, designing prototypes and refining iteratively.

Peers

Learning flourishes as a social activity, with children sharing ideas, collaborating on projects and building on one another’s work.

Passion

When children work on projects they care about, they work longer and harder, persist in the face of the challenges and learn more in the process.

Play

Learning involves playful experimentation – trying new things, tinkering with materials, testing boundaries, taking risks, and iterating again and again.
