Description
How can we use Science to engage students to be innovators?
Through this workshop Science will be the springboard for driving student innovation. We will explore ways of providing students with the opportunity to wonder, find and define problems, engage in authentic experiences and seek creative solutions.
The goal of the workshop is to provide teachers with an understanding of innovation education and ways to support students to turn their ideas into action with a Science focus. Teachers will unpack practices in unleashing student’s ability to be innovators and engage in hands on experiences in understanding these concepts. The opportunity to design lessons and tasks, which allow students to transfer their knowledge and develop their capability skills, will be explored.
