Class, WE think you're going to love our newest Pencil Buster! Welcome Heidi Siwak, an education consultant and Teacher Coach with I-Think. Heidi joins our new ranks of Canadian Pencil Busters working to make education more rewarding- check out our talk with Jason Buccheri last Saturday for more! I-Think is an education charity that works to empower children to tackle complex, messy problem solving with real world applications. Because the world– believe it or not– is a complex, messy place. And children CAN wrestle and grapple with the big topics. How can they get started? Well, with I-Think's challenge kits, bundles of tools and exercises for students and their educators to work through real world problem solving by developing healthy tension. Heidi shares her work creating the AI Challenge Kit, launching this spring, to examine how AI can enhance and enrich learning for each student. Want to get in on the challenge kit action? Contact I-Think and get to busting those pencils!
