CANCELLED: Design with Kindness Workshop – Sydney

Good design is kindness in action!

Teaching kindness starts with the individual and then spreads outward into families, schools and communities. The Design With Kindness resource will foster this broader sense of kindness as you explore STEAM concepts and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

You’ll be able to deliver activities to teach creativity, empathy, accountability, diversity and innovation—all while being kind to yourself and those around you.

Included in this kit is an entire year worth of weekly design challenges that correspond to real-life case studies. Sprinkle your school calendar with these learning prompts where students can explore different design scenarios throughout the year. You’ll also love receiving an easy-to-use Google Sheet for tracking your students progress.

So if you’re looking for some friendly inspiration to get 2022 off to a positive start, this full-day workshop is for you.

I love anything that’s going to assist students in executing mathematical outcomes. I wouldn’t share anything that I didn’t try and love… This makes drawing in 3D objects so easy!
