Creating Innovative Learning Environments Through Community and Interdisciplinary Connections for Invention Education
Sat, April 18, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Virtual RoomSession Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
In this session we examine how invention education programs foster innovative learning environments through the connections with communities, universities, funders and other partners. Invention education is an emerging field of study and a pedagogical approach that promotes inventiveness, creativity, and contributions to the public good. It draws on multidimensional ties among students, teachers, schools, communities, and the larger local and national networks. In bringing together scholars representing different invention education programs, we aim to make visible how the inventive learning environments are created and supported through the connections among multiple stakeholders. Discussants representing a funder, a government organization, and an international perspective, will explore the potentials and challenges of scaling invention education to more schools and communities.
