Build-It-Yourself, Educating the Next Generation of Leaders and Builders
In the Classroom of the Future…
How do we prepare the next generation of leaders and builders to develop intelligent energy, food production, transportation, health care and pollution control systems?
Our mission is to develop a classroom of the future that teaches students 21st century creativity and technical skills efficiently and effectively. Our strategy is to develop an online, global laboratory environment with interactive, dynamic content delivered by a network of art and engineering students from well-known universities. The Build-It-Yourself program reflects the research conducted by Professor Mitchel Resnick’s Life Long Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab.
