Invent to Learn
Makers from History

Johann Pestalozzi (1746-1827) Believed learning happened from a balance from heart, head, and hand
Frobel was one of his students and designed kindergarten (the first formal education for young children.)
Montessori embraced many of Frobel's ideas for allowing children to interact and learn with the natural world.
John Dewey (1859-1952). Saw education as continuous throughout one's entire life. Advocated for students to be involved in situations and experiences related to the real world.
Seymour Papert - "Father of the Maker Movement." Advocated that children should use computers and programing despite popular belief.
Jean Piaget (1896-1980) Developed theory of learning known as "constructivism." This means that everything new must be learned through experience by each child. Children learn best by exploring, tinkering, and making.

Tools to Use in Teaching
Fabrication Machines
3D printers
-
-
Prices range from $1,000 to tens of thousands of dollars. "You get what you pay for." More expensive 3D printers tend to work better.
-
Physical Computing
Arduino
Open source electronic micro controller based on flexible, easy to use hardware.
-
Small microcomputer that receives input from sensors. use info in a computer program, then uses that info to turn on and off switches.
-
-
Raspberry Pi
Only $25. Like a normal computer except the size of a credit card. It does not have a mouse, keyboard, or hard drive.

-
Only $25 but you need to purchase other materials like cables to connect, SD car, keyboard, and mouse. These can bring the price to over $100.
