Through its Education Innovation Grants, the MIT Jameel World Education Lab aspires to develop the building blocks, ideas, and connections that power global transformation in learning. As part of a series highlighting 2023 grantees, we spoke with Ann Berger Valente, educational research manager at the MIT Media Lab, working closely with her collaborator Leo Burd, director of the Lemann Creative Learning Program at the Media Lab. Valente’s project builds on the Media Lab Lifelong Kindergarten group’s Brazilian Creative Learning Network program by deepening and broadening the reach of creative learning experiences through Festivals of Invention and Creativity (FICs). FICs are local celebrations where children, families, educators, and decision makers can experience firsthand the joy of learning by exploring meaningful activities with high and low tech materials. Valente and Burd will develop a set of resources and guides to enable educators around the world to organize their own Festivals of Invention and Creativity. #Teaching #Learning #Creativity #LifelongKindergarten https://bit.ly/4bKIqYV
