Abstract

The Make2Learn workshop aims to explore the introduction in the learning processes of tools and methods for creative and joyful ideation, design and prototyping of Internet of Things (IoT) artifacts. Making IoT artefacts enable children to foster co-creativity and joy in learning processes and to construct knowledge; leading to STEM concepts. Making activities for IoT often have a broad perspective that includes not just digital fabrication, but also design thinking concepts such as problem elaboration, brainstorming, ideation and reflection. Make2learn aims to bring together a multidisciplinary group of experts for exploring how the intersection between the design, making, learning and IoT fields can accelerate the acquisition of 21st Century learning competences. During the workshop a set of tools and methods to engage children in ideation and prototyping of IoT artefacts will be demonstrated. Participants are also invited to bring and present their own tools. This will allow us to better understand and improve the value of Maker philosophy and the role of design and making IoT technologies to support teaching and learning.
