But first, let’s play;
Essential ingredients: 1 marshmallow, 20 spaghetti noodles, clear tape, and rope
⌛️Time: 18 minutes
This is a team game played in groups of 4 to build the tallest independent tower
🎯 Whoever builds the tallest tower wins.
Tom Wujec gives a TED talk in February 2010 about this game created by Peter Skillman to develop design thinking.
In his "Build a Tower, Build a Team" talk, he talks in detail about how kindergarten students perform better than the general average, even better than business and law students, and not only do they build taller but also more interesting structures.
Children approach the problem creatively, not linear and result-oriented.
I urge you to imagine what would be different if we could build our education system with the intention of developing the creative abilities inherent in children’s nature in their ongoing school life… 🤔
On the other hand, Hour of Code website created by Code.org welcomes us with the promise of ‘Learn today, build a brighter tomorrow’ and continues…
With over 180 countries and over 45 languages, they are pioneering a global movement.
Statistics reveal that 70,246 coding events were held in 2020 and only 943 event were held in Turkey 🙄.
The invitation is very welcoming. ✉️
Today is April 23, 2021, National Sovereignty and Children’s Day, let’s take a break from our work and play games as adults. 👾
Moreover, we can see what is it like coding while playing, maybe we want to play this game with children.
Today is April 23. It is a good day remember the child’s inner creative power.
Who knows, maybe you will like this idea and want to play with kids all the time 😉 and learn from them.
