I believe that people learn best when they are actively engaged in creating projects that are meaningful to them.

As a research assistant in the Lifelong Kindergarten group, and later on in Israel, I facilitated over 20 different workshops that engage people with the ideas behind Creative Learning. I worked with groups of children, educators, youth counselors and researchers, and ran workshop on different topics related to creative learning, with different tools (Scratch, Micro:bit, MaKey MaKey, LEGO WeDo, Paper Electronics and more)

A few example include:

• Teaching Assistant in two Media Lab classes: “Learning Creative Learning” and “Toys to Think with”, Spring, 2016.

• 1-week Learning Creative Learning Workshop with educators in the University of Tsinghua, Beijing, China, Fall, 2016.

• Get Creative with Coding, Digital Media and Learning Conference, October 2016.

• Scratch and LEGO WeDo workshop, Sandbox Summit, MIT, April, 2016.

• Scratch and the Physical World, Computer Clubhouse Conference, March, 2016.
