Arvind Gupta, ekspert UNESCO dzieli się pomysłami jak materiały recyclingowe można wykorzystać w doświadczeniach naukowych. Przedstawia pomysły na zabawki ze śmieci, ktore są najlepszymi pomocami dla edukatorów.

Sir Ken Robinson stawia przyjemną i poruszającą do głębi tezę stworzenia systemu edukacyjnego, który raczej podsycałby kreatywność, niż ją osłabiał.

Education scientist Sugata Mitra tackles one of the greatest problems of education -- the best teachers and schools don't exist where they're needed most. In a series of real-life experiments from New Delhi to South Africa to Italy, he gave kids self-supervised access to the web and saw results that could revolutionize how we think about teaching.

"Babies and young children are like the R&D division of the human species," says psychologist Alison Gopnik. Her research explores the sophisticated intelligence-gathering and decision-making that babies are really doing when they play.

Patricia Kuhl shares astonishing findings about how babies learn one language over another - by listening to the humans around them and "taking statistics" on the sounds they need to know. Clever lab experiments (and brain scans) show how 6-month-old babies use sophisticated reasoning to understand their world.

How to build your creative confidence

In this video Dr. Meltzoff explores babies' gesture- and action-based learning through intelligent robots, annoying noises, cultural stereotypes and more. Children are born learning. Nineteen hour old babies in a hospital setting will imitate an adult sticking out his tongue or opening his mouth before the infant has ever seen a reflection of its own face. Children are wired for learning from the culture in which they are brought up. Part of this is their intense interest in socially imitating the people around them. "Children are obsessed with what are 'like-me' entities in the world," Dr. Meltzer argues.

Real science has the potential to not only amaze, but also transform the way one thinks of the world and oneself. This is because the process of science is little different from the deeply resonant, natural processes of play. Play enables humans (and other mammals) to discover (and create) relationships and patterns. When one adds rules to play, a game is created. This is science: the process of playing with rules that enables one to reveal previously unseen patterns of relationships that extend our collective understanding of nature and human nature.

HomeProject Zero (hereafter PZ) was founded at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 1967. The founding director was Professor Nelson Goodman (1906-1998), a distinguished philosopher with a strong interest in aesthetics and the arts. Because PZ was founded with a mandate to work in the area of arts education, and because Goodman was skeptical that a firm knowledge base existed in this area, he contrived the whimsical name "Project Zero."

At TED U, Gever Tulley, founder of the Tinkering School, spells out 5 dangerous things you should let your kids do - and why a little danger is good for both kids and grownups

Some kids learn by listening; others learn by doing. Geoff Mulgan gives a short introduction to the Studio School, a new kind of school in the UK where small teams of kids learn by working on projects that are, as Mulgan puts it, "for real."
