In this blog post by Zoe Branigan-Pipe (@zbpipe) you'll see what happens when a real school teacher is read into the think|haus GGHC2011 plan.

 

http://pipedreams-education.ca/2011/03/26/great-global-hackerspace-challenge/

 

I toured the Hackerspace from the perspective of a teacher, as I often  do. In education, we talk about problem solving. We talk about having  our students “think critically”. We advocate and implement problem based  learning and inquiry driven lessons. This hackerspace encompasses all  of these things – in real life.  As I toured the space and talked with  James and the other project members I was fascinated with the set up of  the room. Every area of the space was created to promote design,  creation collaboration, discussion, brainstorming and problem solving.  How about that.There was a massive island in the middle of the table was  covered in tools, designs, and notes.  On the other end of the room was  another large table  looking onto the interactive whiteboard (they made  themselves) used as another space for group projects, conversations,  and a place to create. Eventually, I was guided to the “think” area of  the room containing a few comfortable couches and again, onlooking  another giant idea wall. As the folks from the Thinkhaus described their  project, my eyes kept wondering. QR codes were pasted on the cupboards  with each code eventually leading to a description of the cupboards  contents, or instructions for a tool. Recycled materials, electronics,  computers, cords and tools in organized in every nook and cranny of the  room.

 

 

There's a whole lot of hints about what we're planning on building... look for the detailed announcement of "THE PLAN" shortly.
