Wonder DIY – Build Your Own School Anywhere

2020

Wonder DIY cardboard elements allow your child to build their own learning landscape. It empowers them by engaging them in the architecture of their own school. Playful learning is at the heart of the design. The children can easily build and re-build, re-invent their learning environment.

The design encourages active learning where curiosity, creativity and empowerment of the child are key concepts. The cardboard elements are durable, affordable, produced of recycled cardboard, easy to assemble, disassemble and reconfigure to new imaginative learning scenarios.

For children from 5 to 9 years of age.

Why Wonder?

Wonder is essential to play, and play is essential to all learning processes. Wonder involves improvising or exploring, creating or inventing, pretending or imagining, and taking risks or learning from trial and error (definition of wonder in: B. Mardell, D. Wilson, J. Ryan, K. Ertel, M. Krechevsky and M. Baker: Towards a Pedagogy of Play (July 2016), Project Zero Working Paper, Harvard School of Education).

We are all natural born learners and creative thinkers. We learn through play.

Learning Landscapes

Rosan Bosch Studio’s designs are learning landscapes that allow children to be creative and grow in differentiated learning situations. We have developed a practice with six principles to guide the design of learning environments for the 21st century. Wonder DIY is based on these design principles that empower children to reflect on and plan their own learning journey.

Mountain Top

The Mountain Top learning situation establishes a space for individuals to address a group and let thoughts, views, and knowledge flow from one to many. The speaker or performer stands in front of an audience and becomes an educator.

Cave

The Cave learning situation offers a space for individual concentration, focus, and reflection. It is characterized by quietness but not necessarily isolation. Cave spaces are small, strictly defined spaces for one or two students away from areas with activities.

Campfire

The Campfire learning situation provides a space for group-based learning situations. It trains students to work effectively in smaller teams, focus dialogue within the group, and develop their collaborative skills.

Watering Hole

The Watering Hole learning situation exploits informal spaces with many passers-through and disturbances. This is a space of disruptions where learners encounter unexpected ideas, astounding skills, and surprising knowledge that inspire and motivate them.

Hands-on

Hands-on is an essential design principle that adds an extra non-verbal communication dimension. It offers a link between theory and practice, mind and body, insight and play. It explains relevance, inspires and motivates learners.

Movement

The Movement design integrates movement as a natural part of all spaces. No matter a human’s personality or the subject being studied, movement enhances cognitive skills and energizes the learning process.
