Learning from Failure: Growing Roses of Success

• In Event: 11-We Learning from Failure: Growing Roses of Success

Short Description

(Note: Pre-registration required) Failure can inhibit or enhance learning, making it a critical factor to consider when designing and implementing instruction. Rather than being a shadow to avoid, failure should be embraced and celebrated. This three-hour workshop will explore how failure can be leveraged to inspire learning and learners through the use of LEGO robotics in engaging and challenging mathematical explorations. A lack of programming experience is welcome, will be supported, and will enhance the conversation.
