InGenius Education Lab

Loved working with the Head of Junior School, Director of Innovation and Year 1 Teachers, during our Human-Centred Design Bootcamp (2019) as they became innovators themselves in order to design their first innovation unit entitled, 'Say Goodbye to Home.'

Their 'lived experience' made it easy to create a learning journey for their students as they stepped into the role of young innovators to find and solve real-life challenges for their local community.

In this unit, their 5 year old students found and solved a real problem faced by their local living historians (aka 95 year old residents of aged-care).

Within a few weeks, these creative teachers had designed a learning adventure that empowered their students to compassionate, real-world problem-solvers who lived the strength of failing forward and built creative confidence as they led their learning journey.

If you are interested in finding out more about how to develop your own innovative capability to design this sort of learning, you can catch me at Bronwyn Olsson
