Felix Klee came to share his Self Aware Network http://bit.ly/2UGCQnH as part of his SteamHead Residency!
We just had a short time to share with the kids, so opted for a short session where the kids got to use the materials simply to learn about them. Short sessions like these are useful when the students also have opportunities to freely choose materials and techniques to solve problems in a makerspace – this gives them one more option to think of.

What could you do with the plastic bags that have been used? Is there a way to upcycle plastic bags? We would love to share with you how to upcycle plastics and what can you make by using them!
We don’t tend to measure Open Badges with traditional grading systems. Instead, we adopted a “Skill Matrix” from project management systems, to indicate the level of skill used to earn a badge.
Badge Level 1 holders have received a lecture on the skill, and can answer test questions.
Badge Level 2 holders have performed the skill with assistance, for example by following a set of clear instructions or by having a mentor lead them through a pre-designed project.
Badge Level 3 holders have use the skill independently, following their own design plan and deciding to use the skill to solve a particular problem. Opportunities where a person can solve a problem using skills of their own choice are sometimes rare. Seek them out.
Badge Level 4 holders have led others into receiving Level 2 Badges! Note, the levels are not always sequential!
