At KSL, we are trying to do something so much more important than just giving kids STEAM tools (which I love), not because I want to but because the world demands that we teach kids differently. We need to support and uplift our schools to help, as they can't do it alone. If we don't teach kids creativity, innovation, how to harness and apply their imagination, how to process information along different planes, and how to think big, then they are expected to learn it on their own. This will never happen. Our education system in the U.S. does amazing things, as do the teachers who operate within its constraints. We also must appreciate that kids want to build, break, mix, and explore, not because they want to, but because its how they learn how things work. If you teach a kid the process for solving a problem, they will replicate the process very well. But this is absolutely not success. This is what you do for a robot that is not capable and equipped with one of the most powerful problem solving tools, Imagination.
