Empowering the next generation

of Innovators

We firmly believe that every individual is an innovator. Our mission is to maintain the creative confidence that thrives in the early stages of life by advocating for the integration of essential skills into educational curricula and promoting effective student engagement strategies. Through fostering workforce development, providing comprehensive training, and highlighting the contributions of early educators by showcasing their innovative work, we aim to enrich the educational landscape for our youngest learners.

The primary purpose of this collaborative inquiry is to best understand the requirements and interests of early childhood educators to develop teacher training materials that can be used by others to apply the principles of Maker-centered Learning. Structured by the Agency by Design at Harvard University, this collaborative inquiry is grounded in the principles of design-based research wherein the expertise of researchers and practitioners are combined to develop dynamic interventions that result in “usable knowledge” that is specific to a particular context.

Advocating for Innovative Learning Models

Advocating for innovative learning models in early education is pivotal for preparing children for the future. As a society, we are constantly evolving, It is imperative that our education system mirrors these changes, equipping our children to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Introducing innovative learning models in early education transcends traditional teaching methods. These models emphasize the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability in young minds. By integrating these forward-thinking approaches, we are not only setting children up for academic success but also arming them with essential skills to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
