Podcasts about lifelong kindergarten

What happens when you combine the whimsy of a child's imagination with the rigor of science? Ryan Jenkins, co-founder of the Wonderful Idea Company and an influential personality at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, shares his unexpected journey from working with children to becoming a pioneer in the fusion of art and science. Inspired by mentors like Bob Miller and Mitchell Resnick, Ryan discusses the transformative effects of playful learning and why he champions a "Lifelong Kindergarten" mindset. Discover how this approach not only transcends traditional educational structures but also fosters a culture of creativity and exploration at every age.Picture a workshop where creativity flows as freely as ideas are shared, a place where participants of all ages engage in collaborative projects that balance freedom with guidance. Drawing on experiences from the Ars Electronica Festival, Ryan explores how educational workshops can be both structured and liberating, offering participants autonomy while encouraging meaningful outcomes. We delve into the art of crafting environments that invite curiosity and engagement, where asking the right questions can make the difference between mere participation and genuine personal growth. Achieving early success in these workshops is key, building confidence and nurturing the spirit along with the mind.Excitement builds as we anticipate the release of Ryan's new book, "The Tinkering Workshop: Explore, Invent, and Build with Everyday Materials." Launching on October 15th, this book is designed to ignite the creative spark in children, parents, and teachers alike. Instead of following rigid step-by-step instructions, readers are encouraged to think outside the box with 20 different materials, making creativity accessible even to tinkering novices. This groundbreaking work aims to inspire personalized outcomes and innovative thinking, inviting everyone to embrace the joy of hands-on learning and explore the endless possibilities of open-ended projects in educational settings.

In this first episode back after the summer break, you'll hear from multidisciplinary creative and community-builder, Allison MacKenzie about her brainchild called Tinker*.You'll hear about the ways that it's an interdisciplinary, iterative, low-stakes and high community environment. We talk about imperfection, vulneratibility and experimentation and Ally shares stories of Tinkerers in action. We get into the traps of social media and Ally's big goals for the space.Finally, we end with a discussion of the 4 P's we're both working to cultivate in our respective spaces:  projects, passion, peers and play (aka Lifelong Kindergarten!).  Join Tinker in Toronto's Annex this fall: September 19, October 3 & October 17I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people! Let's Connect on the web or via Instagram. :)

Today on the show, Boston Children's Museum President and CEO Carole Charnow interviews Dr. Mitchel Resnick in the next installment of our Creativity Series. Mitch Resnick is the LEGO Papert Professor of Learning Research at the MIT Media Lab and develops new technologies and activities to engage people (particularly children) in creative learning experiences. His Lifelong Kindergarten research group developed the Scratch programming software and online community, used by millions of young people around the world.  Carole talks with Mitch about his new project OctoStudio, the value of Kindergarten style learning, the 4 P's of Creative Learning, the relationship between technology and creative learning and more.

On the latest instalment of ShiftED Podcasts we had the great fortune to talk with Eric Rosenbaum, director from the Scratch Lab. A Lifelong Kindergarten alumni, Eric has been with Scratch from the get go, developing creative tools for learning. Not only is Eric a lifelong tinkerer, he worked with Jay Silver on perhaps one of the most inventive tools in education today, the Makey Makey. As Eric joyfully explained, Makey Makey + Scratch is like peanut butter and jelly! It's a great conversation about Eric's creative journey, with a look to the future of creative computing. Be sure to read Eric's latest blog post on Inside Scratch Lab: AI Image Generation, and check out the Scratch block “Face Sensing” a glimpse into A.I. for all our learners. https://medium.com/scratchteam-blog/inside-scratch-lab-ai-image-generation-179f11bd921a https://lab.scratch.mit.edu/face/

Chris Gondek interviews Mitchel Resnick about his work at the MIT Media Lab, the foundation for his new book, Lifelong Kindergarten. In kindergartens these days, children spend more time with math worksheets and phonics flashcards than building blocks and finger paint. Kindergarten is becoming more like the rest of school. In Lifelong Kindergarten, learning expert Mitchel Resnick argues for exactly the opposite: the rest of school (even the rest of life) should be more like kindergarten. To thrive in today's fast-changing world, people of all ages must learn to think and act creatively--and the best way to do that is by focusing more on imagining, creating, playing, sharing, and reflecting, just as children do in traditional kindergartens. Drawing on experiences from more than thirty years at MIT's Media Lab, Resnick discusses new technologies and strategies for engaging young people in creative learning experiences. He tells stories of how children are programming their own games, stories, and inventions (for example, a diary security system, created by a twelve-year-old girl), and collaborating through remixing, crowdsourcing, and large-scale group projects (such as a Halloween-themed game called Night at Dreary Castle, produced by more than twenty kids scattered around the world). By providing young people with opportunities to work on projects, based on their passions, in collaboration with peers, in a playful spirit, we can help them prepare for a world where creative thinking is more important than ever before.

Alanna hosts our school library panel on the topic of instigating collaboration through instruction and building that cycle. Our coast-to-coast #CollaboNation panel of experts Lila Armstrong, Sonja Clark, and Leigh Borden strategize about their menu of collaboration and making sure that the school knows their true range of skills and abilities. How can we continue to push our schools to investigate inquiry projects where the ending (i.e. diorama) isn't predetermined? Favourites from our panel include book sets, anticipation guides, combining STEM with literacy, continuity pieces that cross all curricula and shifting school culture to embrace dissonance.Shoutouts to Jenn Brown, Christie Johnson, National Film Board, Mitch Resnick's Lifelong Kindergarten, Lisa Unger, Reggio, Robert John Meehan, and Walter Isaacson's The Innovators.

MIT Professor Mitch Resnick, author of “Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity through Projects, Passion, Peers, and Play”, talks about creativity in learning and explains why kindergarten is the greatest invention of the last millennium.

Over the last decade, the Maker Movement has grown into a worldwide network of people from all disciplines coming together to learn through play and through making. Eric Rosenbaum, a creative technologist with a doctorate from MIT Media Lab’s Lifelong Kindergarten group, says there’s a powerful promise in unlocking the potential that we all have … Continue reading "Episode 19: Learning Through Play, Through Making"

Mitchel Resnick (or Mitch, for short) knows his making—from a lot of different angles. And he’s not too bought into the whole “electronics and gadgets” side of the maker movement. Resnick has been in this business for more than 30 years, and it’s safe to say that he’s seen the maker movement—and the state of STEM education, in general—go through its phases, its ups and downs. He’s currently the LEGO Papert Professor of Learning Research and head of the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, where he and his team have developed products familiar to many a science educator: the "programmable brick" technology that inspired the LEGO Mindstorms robotics kit, and Scratch, an online computing environment for students to learn about computer science. Is making something that every school should be doing—and are all interpretations of “making” of equitable value? EdSurge sat down with Resnick in his office at the MIT Media Lab to learn more, and to find out how he and his team are working to bring more creativity into the learning process.

Complex problems require creative solutions – but how do people learn to think and act creatively? In this presentation, Karen Brennan shares the work that is being done in the Lifelong Kindergarten research group at the MIT Media Lab to design technologies and environments that enable everybody (particularly young people) to develop as creative thinkers.
