The success of a STEAM makerspace depends on various resources, one of them being the type of content to be explored. #steamcop

@KarenWalstra: embedded in the planning should be considerations of safety which will account for the safekeeping of tools, and learners projects. Its important to be mindful of the safety regulations that govern the use of different machinery and their storage. #STEAMCoP

[BRIDGE Innovation in Learning Organisation @BridgeProjectSA]

@KarenWalstra: It's important to get children to understand failure by iterating as often as required and modeling resilience, problem solving and critical thinking.

[BRIDGE Innovation in Learning Organisation @BridgeProjectSA]

@KarenWalstra: STEAM doesn't always have to happen in the classroom. Thinking about how to tie in everyday scenarios with the STEAM approach is how we get to #authenticlearning. #STEAMCoP

Such a fantastic STEAM CoP. Great ideas to start your own Centre. @BridgeProjectSA @CASMEZA @penreach

@KarenWalstra concludes her session with a quote from Piaget on the importance of allow children the autonomy to learn rather than being taught. It is crucial to allow children to do their own experimentation and discoveries. #steamCoP

Henre invites participants to #UnlockCuriosity and think about STEAM as more of a process of different elements that are in constant conversation with each other, rather than a linear series of outputs, through a different take of Bloom's taxonomy. @CASMEZA

BRIDGE's second STEAM CoP in collaboration with @penreach is now underway.

Childrens ability to read is reduced when they are on holiday for a few months. What is happening with our children that have been on lockdown for 4 months? @GTI_educators @BridgeProjectSA @Naledi_Shine

[Nkhensani Baloyi @Nkhens_Baloyi]

What is the role of M & E and education response to COVID-19?

This should be approached globally, then, locally while incorporating the SDGs.
Coordination, collaboration and transformation are key strategies of M & E

Volunteer M&E capacity is plentiful, but the JET research bootcamps show that you need solid project management capacity to channel that capacity into valuable outputs. - @BenitaW @SAMEA_ZA @BridgeProjectSA https://t.co/vGeWC6Ea8K

Nyaradzo from @Tshikululu takes us through a presentation on #Covid_19 Remote Data Collection. These tools and resources are being used at the moment. @KhulisaMS @SAMEA_ZA

“We need an Evaluation Agenda if we want to have a systemic response. We need to start thinking about which big questions we ask and whose questions we ask.” @BenitaW @Tshikululu @KhulisaMS @SAMEA_ZA
