Post-Apocalypse Classroom (Restoring education effectively in crazy times)
Educational systems are facing historical challenges: war, lack of funding, tech leaps, it is theoretical, marks over knowledge focus... The problem is deep in the future, facing ignorance, an angry generation reflects on society, economy, and security.
We lost hope in fixing it by the state, we decided to make the move from society: The share & learn culture of the maker movement, and makerspaces tools to innovate an effective, scalable education that focuses on needs with a minimal amount of resources. An educational Robot Kit based on Arduino, laser-cut parts, in a pizza package, manuals uploaded to a free Google Drive link, written by passionate parents and educators who dreamed of an ideal curriculum.
Personally, I was dreaming of this when I was suffering from learning embedded systems with my medical background!
Within 15 hrs, your kids (+8) can learn Arduino programming effectively faster than college students. The secret is the precise recipe of 11 years of educational experience in a makerspace.
