Creativlab Ampiric 2023- Kuti Kuti Project

KITS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Kuti Kuti

The aim of this project is to develop fun approaches such as makers or tinkering in French schools. By combining the expertise of the company Kuti Kuti, which specializes in the production of objects to be made for children aged 4 to 10, with education researchers, the aim is to initiate a process of co-designing objects and resources to enable the emergence of new classroom practices.

The objective is threefold:

1) to engage students in approaches of trial and error, experimentation, design and creation (tinkering);

2) to encourage the emergence of scientific and artistic reasoning;

3) to develop a diversity of language practices by reporting observations, tests and conclusions; by using different modes of representation (text, diagram, drawing); by explaining phenomena orally and in writing. This project will develop reasoning through exploration, experimentation and play.
