lunch&LEARN: 3T PLAY - At EPFL and Beyond
The LEGO Foundation-funded "3T PLAY" project, at EPFL, developed and tested playful activities with tangible objects, for teaching process skills to engineering students.
Our students, with their specialised engineering skills, will lead the design and development of apps, tools and algorithms with far reaching consequences for society. However, we often overlook the importance of their transversal, or process, skills for the collaboration, design and organisation phases of the creation of these engineered products.
3T PLAY targets these essential skills, using the in the moment focus of a playful approach to create micro-experiential learning opportunities.
Join us for this hands-on lunch&LEARN session and discover our activities designed to increase engineering students’ ability to apply strategies for integrating a diverse set of such process skills with their technical knowledge.
Highlighting both the capacity of transversal skills to enable students to align their engineering actions with their human and planetary responsibilities and become adept professionals, this session will be of interest for both researchers (data & findings) and educators (practical activity guides).
