here's a start!

so we are working on a programme right now in singapore schools,
something that combines problem-based learning, creative thinking,
arduino, cupcake and other prototyping techniques. Primary objective
to is to get the children to start first from solving problems on a
self/personal level, leading subsequently to a community and global
level.
Am prototyping (of course) the programme in a high school, and in july
I will be working on 1 grade school and 1 more high school, while we
train up local teams here for a national launch.
the programme is gonna be completely open source, we already have very
interesting photos and projects to show other educators. am still
working on it the lesson plans, rubrics, etc (this is where i would
appreciate the most help), but would like to invite everyone
interested to contribute.
still finding a place to host it; perhaps even here????

so i have already posted my presentation (what's usually shown to the
educators/school leaders) - its in PDF format, and there are a couple
of movies inside that of course does not play - the original file is
too big to post - any feedback will be appreciated. would love to work
on this with you guys!

Hello,
This looks interesting! I would be interested in knowing more. We
work with older students (University level) from an Arts background,
so possibly dealing with many of the similar issues that you are.
Yo can see some of the projects from the last two workshops here:

I look forward to hearing more about your work!
