SUMMARY:Public lecture - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Gary and Sylvia will present a public lecture based on the book Invent To Learn: Making\, Tinkering\, and Engineering in the Classroom at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics\, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. \nMaking: A Way of Learning\nLearning outside of school is being transformed by the trends of tinkering\, maker culture and personal fabrication. Educators need to be mindful of this major shift in digital learning\, married to craft traditions\, and student agency to create productive contexts for learning. \nThe Maker ethos of constructionism\, or learning-by-making through first-hand experience will be explored in the context of projects using a range of analog and digital “construction” materials. Children can now use technology to create and solve their own problems. Affordable new tools and materials\, such as 3-D printers\, laser cutters\, Arduino microntrollers\, MaKey MaKey construction kits\, conductive paint and wearable computing components allow students to go farther than was imagined just a few years ago. Junk\, high-tech gear\, art supplies and engineering principles collide to expand human potential. \nArt and science converge and are amplified by computing. When the artificial boundaries between subject areas are blurred and every student requires the same process skills and tools\, the distinction between vocational and academic education are obliterated. In order for schools to seize the opportunities afforded by this “Maker” spirit\, educators need more than awareness that the world is changing. They need to develop new skills and redesign classroom environments to support learner-centered practices in order to prepare kids to solve problems their teachers never anticipated. \nAbout Gary Stager\, Ph.D.\nGary Stager is one of the world’s leading experts and advocates for computer programming\, robotics and learning-by-doing in classrooms. In 1990\, Dr. Stager led professional development in the world’s first laptop schools and played a major role in the early days of online education. In addition to being a popular keynote speaker at some of the world’s most prestigious education conferences\, Gary is a journalist\, teacher educator\, consultant\, professor\, software developer\, publisher\, and school administrator. An elementary teacher by training\, he has taught students from preschool through doctoral studies. Dr. Stager is the also founder of the Constructing Modern Knowledge summer institute for educators.\nDr. Stager is co-author of Invent To Learn – Making\, Tinkering\, and Engineering in the Classroom\, called the “bible of the maker movement in schools\,” by Larry Magid of CBS and The San Jose Mercury News.\nWhen Jean Piaget wanted to better understand how children learn mathematics\, he hired Seymour Papert. When Dr. Papert wanted to create a high-tech alternative learning environment for incarcerated at-risk teens\, he hired Gary Stager. This work was the basis for Gary’s doctoral dissertation and documented Papert’s most-recent institutional research project. \nWhen not on the road speaking or consulting\, Dr. Stager spent the past two years as the Special Assistant to the Head of School for Innovation at The Willows Community School in Culver City\, California. Dr. Stager’s work has earned a Ph.D. in Science and Mathematics Education and a Grammy Award. Gary is also on the advisory board of the NSF-funded project\, BJC4NYC: Bringing a Rigorous Computer Science Principles Course to the Largest School System in the US. \nAbout Sylvia Martinez\nSylvia works in schools around the world to bring the power of authentic learning into classrooms\, particularly in Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Math (STEM) subjects. Sylvia speaks\, writes\, and advocates for student-centered project-based learning\, gender equity in STEM\, computer programming\, and life-long learning. She is also President of Constructing Modern Knowledge Press\, a publishing company dedicated to bringing books about constructionist learning by educators to educators.\nPrior to co-authoring Invent To Learn: Making\, Tinkering\, and Engineering in the Classroom\, Sylvia was President of Generation YES\, a non-profit with a mission of empowering young people to improve their schools and communities with modern technology. Before that\, Sylvia was in charge of product development at several software publishers\, designing and creating video games and educational software. Sylvia also enjoyed a career in aerospace engineering as a senior scientist on the GPS navigational satellite system research and development. She holds a masters in educational technology and a bachelors in electrical engineering.

SUMMARY:Vilnius University Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Monday September 26\, 13-16 at Vilnius University\, Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (master degree students and some lectures):\n1. Reinventing School Mathematics\n2. Making: a Way of Learning \nWednesday September 28\, 13-18 at Vilnius University main building (old town):\n1. Ten Considerations When Proposing Computer Science for All (all children)\n2. Why Papert Matters\n3. Reinventing School Mathematics \nReinventing School Mathematics\nIt’s Time for Action! \nThere may be no greater gap between a discipline and the teaching done in its name than when the beauty\, power and mystery of mathematics become math instruction. One can only begin to address the systemic challenges of math education by understanding the nature of mathematics and the power of computing. Nearly 100 years of efforts to increase achievement with unchanged curricular content continues to fail spectacularly; yet\, we do not change course. Surely\, the widespread availability of computational technology demands new pedagogical approaches and a new diet of mathematics. \nThere has never been greater interest in mathematics education\, yet there is little consensus on how best to prepare children to face an increasingly complex future. We live at a time when politicians call for an emphasis on S.T.E.M. while students dislike math\, teachers lack confidence in their mathematical ability\, achievement is static and inequitable\, computational thinking is required for navigating a successful life\, and your phone can solve every problem in the existing math curriculum – simultaneously. Seymour Papert reminds us that our efforts might be better spent inventing a diet of mathematics children can love\, than developing tricks to teach them a mathematics they hate. \nTen Considerations When Proposing Computer Science for All (all children)\nPresident Obama recently proclaimed a goal of computer science education for every student. This follows similar proclamations made around the world. Educators\, especially those committed to learning by making\, should lead the movement to teach all kids to program\, but only after goals are clarified and Computer Science for All is defined. This lecture will explore the mutually supportive nature of making and computer science education\, while cutting through the confusion associated with the latest “opportunity” being delivered to schools. Exciting examples of what computer science in a constructive context look like will be shared and 10 powerful ideas of teaching CS discussed. \nThe presenter has four decades worth of experience teaching K-12 computer science in schools across the globe and is on the advisory board of the National Science Foundation-funded\, BJC4NYC: Bringing a Rigorous Computer Science Principles Course to NYC. \nWhy Papert Matters\nThe world recently lost a great mathematician\, philosopher\, educational theorist\, inventor\, school reformer\, and freedom fighter\, Dr. Seymour Papert\, father of educational computing. Dr. Gary Stager had the good fortune of working with Dr. Papert for twenty years\, including as the principal investigator on Papert’s last major institutional research project – creating a high-tech\, multi-age\, alternative learning environment inside of a troubled prison for teenagers. He has also spent more than three decades helping schools around the world embrace forms of Papertian education\, including pioneer work in 1:1 computing and teaching programming to children. Stager also curates the Papert archives found at DailyPapert.com. \nIn this lecture\, we will explore Papert’s many contributions to education today and his vision for making the world a better place for learners in the future. \nMaking: A Way of Learning (featuring Sylvia Martinez)\nLearning outside of school is being transformed by the trends of tinkering\, maker culture and personal fabrication. Educators need to be mindful of this major shift in digital learning\, married to craft traditions\, and student agency to create productive contexts for learning. \nThe Maker ethos of constructionism\, or learning-by-making through first-hand experience will be explored in the context of projects using a range of analog and digital “construction” materials.
