Dear Colleagues!

We are delighted to invite you to the ‘Crafting Tomorrow's Minds: A Journey into Sustainable Maker Education’ webinar.

Date:  13 December, 2023, 15.00 EEST / 14.00 CET

Registration required: https://forms.gle/RD3TYSVEeDqnXUGN7

Explore the world of innovative education with Maker's Red Box, a Hungarian development organisation dedicated to creating enriching school course materials. Through a series of engaging courses designed for students in the fifth grade and up, learn about the fascinating world of digital fabrication tools such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and soldering stations.

This webinar is for educators who want to use digital technology to incorporate sustainable maker activities into their classrooms. During this webinar, we will explore the essence of maker skills, demonstrating how they can be used as catalysts for collaboration, creativity, and responsibility. Our approach combines storytelling and gamification to create an immersive learning experience that aims to shape responsible decision-makers and forward-thinking individuals.

Join us on this educational adventure as we present four enthralling courses:
- City of Future is building a future city scale model
- Greens Engineers takes you to Mars and helps you understand sustainable engineering
- Superheroes are an internal journey to yourself with laser cutters
- Global Warning lets you travel and experiment and learn how our world is adopting.

Organised as part of the Scrappies project: Enhancing creativity and sustainable attitudes of children through play and recycled materials.
