Labs
Experimentation is the most powerful way to learn. That’s why I’m a great fan of labs. I had the opportunity to visit the inspiring social enterprise jCoders Academy in Pristina, Kosovo, which teaches young people STEM skills (science, technology, engineering and maths) using their Lab Box, a DIY electronics kit. It reminded me of the innovative SOL teaching method pioneered in India. SOL stands for self-organised learning and uses the curiosity of children as a pathway to knowledge and skills development. We could all benefit from a lab learning mindset, experimenting, failing forward and letting child-like questioning be our guide to innovation.
