Methodology
The Future Skills Programme applies components from the Maker Movement, The Design Thinking Process from Stanford University's d:school, and MakersBox's innovative problem-solving method.
Our methodology uses a mix of the hands-on do-it-yourself approach and a novel five-step problem-solving process. Equipping students to define a problem objectively, choose materials to solve the problem, and use creativity for their solution while collaborating and taking feedback on their design.
The program intends to arrive at Several solutions, not just one explanation for the whole class, involving participants creatively solving real-life problems.
