Event Details

 

This Summit is one of two to be held; the first one will be held for Eastern Massachusetts on February 20, 2008. At these summits, we hope to:

        • catalog IT courses and syllabi

        • create a map of course equivalents between institutions

        • identify links to program and degree requirements.

We will follow up the two summits with another meeting to integrate the results from each. Our goal is to create a database of IT and CS courses, curricula and degree/certificate/career programs that will serve as a resource for students, faculty and advisers.

LEGO Education

We believe optimal learning occurs when children get the opportunity to explore the world on their own, but in a guided environment. When children actively construct things in the physical world, it helps them greatly to build knowledge. This new knowledge enables them to create ever more sophisticated solutions, yielding more skills, more knowledge, and more challenges in a self-reinforcing cycle.

Students who create their own solutions to problems experience the thrill of genuine achievement - an experience altogether different from simply memorising the achievements of others. This makes learning an adventure. The more empowered children feel, the more they enjoy their classes, and the more they begin to take charge of their own learning process.
