Dear all,
Please see the attached poster. The Underwood’s will be spending time at an orphanage in Phnom Penh over the winter break. Old laptops are needed as Ati and Ato will be setting up a media centre to help the children there improve their learning opportunities. Mobile phones are needed to help older students get part time jobs to support their own learning.
How might we create opportunities for the NIS community to be courageous?
In week 18, a stage environment in front of the library will have the following play/experiment/learn items:
Courageous learners and creators are invited to enjoy and interact with any articles on the stage.
They will be filmed with the purpose for review by the prototype team to see if activities should be scaled or ditched.
This prototype is inspired by Sugata Mitra’s 1999 Hole in the Wall experiment.
Computers were placed in a slum in Kalkaji, Delhi to enable
unsupervised access, informal, public, self-guided and collaborative work
to synergize through creative and courageous play.
Enjoy,
The Courageous Prototype Team
