Learning by Making Series

pi-top is a creative learning company and our mission is to inspire a generation of makers. We make modular computer hardware, software and education projects that supports Learning by Making; an active, hands-on approach to teaching and learning that goes beyond the screen and text book.The Learning by Making movement is grounded in the belief that a ‘maker-mindset’ is essential for developing the real-life, practical skills learners need to thrive in a rapidly transforming world. A world characterised by automation, AI and new employment opportunities based on creativity, collaboration and problem-solving.

pi-top TEAM

Join us for an evening of thought-provoking talks, exploration, and refreshments. With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we'll discuss how we can nurture the competences needed for learners to thrive in the 21st century and beyond. 
Talks will also look into the impact of learning by making in the classroom and how it can help improve learner agency and outcomes.
