The loop of joy:

Ooh, I have an idea…
struggle…
it works!
In my work at CoderDojo, I realised this is what we are aiming at helping kids discover (and also helps grown-ups too!).

This talk will cover:

Starter pathways to crank the creative joy engine in young learners
The MIT Media Lab “Life-long Kindergarten” 4P’s:
Passion, Peers, Projects and Play, and how they drive the creative learning pathway
How to not lose connection to enjoying it (kids and adults)
Come curious, with hope for joy!
