FAQ

Why does my child need to develop his/her imagination and creativity?

Each child is incredibly creative, but research shows that creativity scores drop dramatically as children grow up in an education system that is designed to be structured with a focus on building knowledge. Please watch the most popular TED Talk ever on the subject on creativity by Sir Ken Robinson.

In today's rapidly changing world with where content knowledge is becoming a commodity and with increasing automation, imagination and creativity become potentially the most important foundation that we need to build in children. By nurturing your child's imagination and creativity, you will help him find his/her own way toward happiness and prepare him/her for the challenges of the future.

Why are Imagin8ors experiences different from other workshops?

We believe that learning should be personalized to each child, so we have a least one facilitator for two children during our experiences, and we give them enough freedom to express their own personality in what they make. We also believe, based on research, that self-learning and interests based activities are the best methods to provide deeper learning for children, so we give few instructions. Facilitators inspire you to find the solutions to your problems, but without giving ready-to-consume answers.

What is the benefit of participating in the workshop with my child?

You would agree that parents have a key role to play in a child's learning and creative development. In fact OECD published research shows that genuine parent engagement and interest when children are growing up can have a sgnificant impact on the child's PISA test scores when they are 15 years old. You could read Tom Friedman's article on the subject.

We design our workshops to help you be a co-learner and a coach. You play and create together with your child and build this strong relationship around learning in a meaningful and fun way. Our previous participants have really appreciated the quality bonding time they had with their children.  

I have no experience in electronics. How will I help my child during the experience?

We designed the experience for you and your child to be co-learners. You don’t need any background or experience in electronics to use Makey Makey. Our facilitators will guide you through the whole processes so that all you’ll have to do is tinker, imagine and create together!

Note: Imagin8ors reserves the right to cancel the experience should a minimum of 3 participants not be met. Refunds will be made accordingly.
