The session will touch on the models of 'Invent to Learn', 'Genius Hour', 'Design Thinking' and adaptions of these models that have developed as teachers work with kids under the umbrella idea of 'learning though tinkering'. Participants will travel along a short journey that explores how 'Learning though Tinkering' can begin to be established within their learning environment.
