Project overview
A strategic presentation delivered at UNESCO MGIEP’s TECH (Transforming Education Conference for Humanity), positioning the Maker Movement as a critical educational methodology for developing future-ready competencies.
The project framed hands-on, DIY-based learning not as an alternative trend, but as a necessary response to increasing global uncertainty, automation and technological acceleration.
Main objectives
The project strengthened the global discourse on maker education by:
☀︎ Demonstrating how DIY methodologies cultivate critical future skills such as creative thinking, problem-solving and technological adaptability
☀︎ Sharing practical implementation insights from Polish schools, including both successful outcomes and operational challenges
☀︎ Releasing an open-source curriculum that translated theory into actionable tools for educators
Achieved results
The presentation reinforced maker education as a strategic pedagogical approach rather than simply a creative enrichment activity.
By presenting authentic case studies including barriers and limitations the session established realistic expectations for institutions aiming to adopt similar methodologies.
The open curriculum generated strong interest, confirming demand for practical, implementable frameworks over abstract educational narratives.
Main reflection
This project highlighted that the primary barrier to educational transformation is not student readiness, but adult resistance to systemic change.
While young people demonstrate a natural adaptability to hands-on learning models, educators require support, training and structural permission to shift established practices.
The response to this initiative confirmed that meaningful educational change begins with empowering teachers, positioning their professional development as one of the most critical design challenges in preparing future generations for uncertainty.
