We Make The Future 

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.

Please join us for an evening of exploration, conversation and refreshments, in partnership with some of the icons in the Learning by Making movement. We’ll discuss the impact of Learning by Making and how it can help improve learning outcomes and better prepare today’s students for the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
 
“We believe students embracing ‘Learning by Making’ is vital to their future success – and the success of the global economy.” Jesse Lozano, Co-founder and CEO, pi-top
