When Kids Make
Jul 23, 2017 · 3 min read
They think .. ask questions .. try out ideas




They design .. and create

They figure out solutions .. and then construct them


They work together .. and sometimes alone


They code .. and make things work


They share ideas .. and try out playful solutions


They use tools .. and take things apart


They play,
work,
and learn.




When kids make they acquire knowledge and competencies in context rather than in isolation from opportunities to make meaning and sense. Sometimes they learn to make for the sheer joy of making and sometimes they make to learn because they are inspired to create with new ideas, skills, or knowledge.
To make is timelessly human.
