Experiment overview
A strategic presentation at the UNESCO’s MGIEP TECH (Transforming Education Conference for Humanity) conference that positioned Maker Movement principles as essential educational methodology for developing future-ready competencies.
Main objectives
The project advanced maker education globally by demonstrating how DIY approaches develop critical future skills including creative thinking and technological adaptability, sharing realistic implementation experiences from Polish schools that acknowledged both successes and challenges, and releasing an open curriculum that transformed theoretical concepts into immediately applicable educational resources.
Achieved results
The presentation positioned maker education as a strategic response to increasing global uncertainty rather than merely a creative teaching approach.
By sharing authentic implementation experiences from Polish schools, including challenges encountered, the session provided realistic expectations for educators considering similar initiatives.
Main reflection
This experience revealed that the greatest barrier to educational innovation isn’t student readiness but adult adaptation to present realities.
The enthusiastic reception to practical implementation of curriculum demonstrated that educators recognize the need for change but require concrete methodologies rather than abstract inspiration.
This experiment confirmed that meaningful educational transformation requires addressing the adult learning challenge first - making teacher development perhaps the most critical and challenging “DIY project” in preparing young people for uncertain futures.
