This document provides an agenda for a workshop on play, creativity, and hands-on learning. It includes introductions, challenges to think differently and try new things, discussions of the benefits of play for learning skills like problem-solving and collaboration, and demonstrations of hands-on activities using tools like Microbits. The overall message is that traditional school environments and practices can stifle creativity, while play-based, experiential learning allows students to directly engage with ideas and truly learn.

- 32. The POWER ofimagination I gave you all the same tool. You all had the same task - build a duck - but I did not say anything about what the duck should look like – I gave you no building or design criteria. When I look at them I can quickly see that you have all succeeded in building a duck no matter what they look like. Have everyone hold up their duck to show/share with the rest of the group. You have all succeeded and I believe you all had the same set of bricks to start with – the same conditions, but look at how many variations we came up with. The lesson learned here is there are many ways to reach a solution. By engaging your mind, you can create many solutions to any problem
- 33. Play is learning! visualperception systems thinking long-term memory mental imagery attention executive functioning self-regulation emotional regulation self-efficacy visual search symbolic representations spatial visualization self-assessment perspective-taking adaptive social functioning imitation sensory-motor skills cognitive flexibility kinesthetic awareness short-term memory mental rotation fine motor skills working memory spatial abilities Key message 1: We often tend to think that, of course play has a value, children enjoy it, but it’s not really serious, - what are they actually learning? Nothing could be more wrong - being playful, like you did here, by experimenting with things, trying things out by taking them apart and putting them together again, taking risks with new ideas, is the ultimate way of learning. While you didn’t had time to really ‘think’, during the 40 seconds you were building, - your brain was actually working like crazy. GO TO SLIDE 3 HERE: Let me illustrate: Key message 2: Let me give you are few examples of what happened while you were building the duck Executive Functioning: It’s fundamental for your ability to concentrate and to control yourself like when you are keeping attention to ask and avoiding distractions. This is essential for problem-solving, like when you are dealing with a complex problem or in a task or situation with many different inputs, or information. Symbolic Representation : The ability to associate objects, actions or symbols with a particular meaning, like when you were looking for elements that had similarities with a duck. Important for language development when understanding the meaning of letters and words and numbers in relationship to everyday objects. Spatial abilities: Thinking about and manipulating objects in 3-dimensions, like when visualizing inside your head what you wanted to build, and then manipulating the elements to make the duck. This is essential for your ability to visualize and imagine a situation, and look at it from different directions, - and maybe even more critical, this plays a key role in mathematical thinking, when children learn to sort, count and quantify objects. Self-regulation: Most of you got a little stressed during this task, but as Jørgen mentioned no-one failed. Your ability to regulate your emotions and motivation, while setting yourself the goal of completing the duck and working yourself towards that goal, is called self-regulation. Important for you to control and lead yourself when you are setting yourself a goal and trying to achieve it. Key message 3: Sometimes we consider these abilities like concentration, controlling yourself, visualizing ideas, understanding space for soft skills – things that are a by-product of learning. Nothing could be more wrong, because these skills that you use when you are motivated to play and make things, are the ones that are critical problem-solving and creativity and even also the fundamental way of learning language, reading, writing and mathematics.

- 36. I dare youto look into our school, take a look at the the classrooms and tell me that they look inviting, because they do not. Bland walls, rough carpet, stiff desks that were assembled into shabby groups placed sporadically throughout the room. If you want kids to enjoy and participate in school, is it not logical to make them feel comfortable in this environment? High Tech High out in California is an extremely successful school and renowned for its pioneering with student voice, and it has a very unique setup when it comes to the classrooms, they have glass walls and easily movable furniture. They foster the kind of environment that makes students feel at home and interested, not like they are in a bland, pastel prison.
