23.01.2022 LittleBits can be used to make inventions large and small. For example, kids can make a night lamp that lights up as soon as they open the book. LittleBits are available for hire to both schools and families to learn more about electronics, circuits, inputs and outputs and prototype.

23.01.2022 Teaching a lesson on Fractions in Term 2? All you need is Sphero's and some plastic cups. Students will go bowling with Sphero to determine fractions, identify the largest fractions and create equivalent fractions from the number of pins knocked down. They can either use the joystick to make the sphero run or program it to go at a certain speed each time.... The difficulty can be increased by introducing decimals or by coding the Sphero's LED lights to display the number of pins that were knocked.

05.01.2022 Inquiry-based learning is a constructivist approach where the overall goal is for students to make meaning. Inquiry-based learning is an umbrella term that incorporates many current learning approaches (including project-based learning, design thinking) and may take various forms, depending on the topic, resources, ages and abilities of students and other variables. Here's a quote from Alan Kay "Computers are not rescuing the school from a weak curriculum, any more than putting pianos in every classroom would rescue a flawed music program. Wonderful learning can occur without computers or even paper. But once the teachers and children are enfranchised as explorers, computers, like pianos, can serve as powerful amplifiers, extending the reach and depth of the learners.

03.01.2022 We are fully booked for the first Homeschoolers session on Friday, 24th May. Couple more spots left for the next session in June.
