Wer ist ein Maker?

Basteln Sie noch? Oder sind Sie schon ein Maker? Noch nie davon gehört? Dann klären wir Sie auf: Maker sind Menschen, die Do-it-yourself auf ihre ganz eigene Art interpretieren. Zum Beispiel, indem sie aktuelle Technik kreativ an anderen als den ursprünglich gedachten Orten einsetzen oder künstlerisch aktiv werden. Die Maker-Szene ist mittlerweile so gross, dass sie alle zwei Monate ihre Anhänger mit dem Magazin «Make» über die neusten Erfindungen informiert – und so breit, dass alle, die handwerklich kreativ sind, in diesem Universum einen Platz finden. Damit werden Tätigkeiten aufgewertet, die jahrzehntelang etwas belächelt wurden: die Bastel- und Handarbeiten. Das Szeneblatt der Maker, «Make», beschreibt sogar, wie man einen QR Code stickt. Cool!

Kreativ sein ist erlaubt

Und Balsam für die Seelen von unzähligen Ex-Schülern, die in der Schule einen Klumpen Lehm in einen Kerzenständer verwandeln mussten, der dann jahrelang bei Oma im Bücherregal verstaubte. Ein Lichtblick für alle, die sich so kurz vor Weihnachten haareraufend fragen, was um alles in der Welt sie ihren Liebsten schenken sollen. Also: Warum nicht einmal etwas Selbstgebasteltes? Denn so leicht wie im Moment wurde es einem noch nie gemacht, selber kreativ zu werden: Das Internet versorgt grosszügig mit Ideen und praktischen Anleitungen in Form von Blogs, Foren und spezialisierten Websites. So gut, dass sich der Frust über ein mögliches Misslingen sicher in Grenzen halten wird.

Eigentlich ist es nicht erstaunlich, dass kreativ werden und schöpferisch tätig sein auf so wundersame Weise wieder ihren Platz erobert haben. Wer den ganzen Tag im Büro sitzt, ist froh, wenn er einmal etwas mit den Händen machen kann. Das hat man in den USA schon länger erkannt, dort geniesst «Art and Craft» einen Ruf als ernsthaftes Hobby mit hohem kunsthandwerklichem Anspruch.

Research shows that hands-on learning is an effective way to teach students science. A 2009 study found that eighth-grade students who were involved in hands-on science projects demonstrated a deeper understanding of concepts than students who were taught with traditional methods such as textbook readings, lectures, and tests (Riskowski et al., 2009).

Why is hands-on learning effective? We can look to neuroscience for insight. Students who participate in science experiments, instead of just observing them, have a deeper conceptual understanding of science. Through brain imaging, researchers found that physical experience activates the sensorimotor region of students' brains, which helps reinforce what they're learning (Kontra et al., 2015).

If students use their hands as well as their minds, they're essentially learning twice.

#Coding, A NEW Trend In #Education And A BIG #Responsibility

https://gustmees.wordpress.com/2014/08/24/coding-a-new-trend-in-education-and-a-big-responsibility/

We saw tons of new stuff at CES this year. But one thing that particularly caught our eye was Kubo, the robot that teaches kids how to code.

Kubo is a pretty simple robot – it’s about the size of a can of soda and has two wheels that allow it to roll around a desk or table. But what it lacks in advanced physical ability it makes up for in brains.

Kubo comes with its own programming language called TagTile. The language consists of puzzle pieces that fit together to give Kubo instructions. For example, you could connect three pieces together – forward, turn, then another forward. Kubo then drives over these pieces oncer to “learn” the command, then can remember and perform it without needing the pieces.

Kubo reads the puzzle pieces using an RFID technology – each piece has an individual embedded RFID tag, and Kubo itself has a reader built in.

While it sounds simple, it’s a pretty good way to teach kids the basics of programming without having them stare at a screen.

Welcome to the exciting world of teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) to your own kids or for charitable work. Kids are naturally curious about how things work, and with a new trend in hardware companies creating open source hardware products, it's a great time to teach kids about electronics. But modern technology can seem too complex to even begin to understand. So where do you start?

About the Robot: This robot will run on tile, wood, laminate, low cut carpet, or other smooth surfaces. As it is designed, it will not work on extremely rough surfaces such as concrete, shag or tall carpet, grass, and such. The rough cost of this robot should be less than $10. On average, about $5~7 dollars if you look. You can find the majority of these parts on Amazon, salvage from Goodwill, garage sales, or other places..

If you want to build your own gadgets using the Raspberry Pi but don't have the kit or even a Pi, there could soon be another way to get started.

Microsoft is building an online Raspberry Pi simulator that allows users to write code to control emulated hardware, and that currently lets users interact with an LED and collect data from a sensor.

The simulator shows a graphic of a Pi wired to a combined humidity, temperature, pressure sensor and a red LED via a breadboard, a plug board that allows circuits to be wired together rapidly. Users can type in a side panel to enter Node.js JavaScript code, which can be used to control the LED and collect dummy data from the simulated sensor. That code can be executed using a command line at the base of the panel.

The purpose of this essay is to present a grander vision of an educational system in which technology is used not in the form of machines for processing children but as something the child himself will earn to manipulate, to extend, to apply to projects, thereby gaining a greater and more articulate mastery of the world, a sense of the power of applied knowledge and a self-confidently realistic image of himself as an intellectual agent. Stated more simply, I believe with Dewey, Montessori, and Piaget that children learn by doing and by thinking about what they do. And so the fundamental ingredients of educational innovation must be better things to do and better ways to think about oneself doing these things.

I claim that computation is by far the richest known source of these ingredients. We can give children unprecedented power to invent and carry out exciting projects by providing them with access to computers, with a suitably clear and intelligible programming language and with peripheral devices capable of producing on-line real-time action.
