What do you mean by education for the real world?

Parents today are painfully aware that the traditional academic world of endlessly-repeated lectures, note-taking, homework, rote memorization, standardized testing, grading, sorting, and ranking, may not be adequately preparing their children for a successful and happy future, much less helping them develop their talents to their full potential. Yesterday’s jobs are being automated away at an ever-increasing rate, leading to astounding uncertainty for our children’s future. The 21st century needs and rewards resourceful entrepreneurs, innovative designers, creative problem solvers, independent critical thinkers, insightful analyzers, productive project managers, persuasive communicators, imaginative storytellers, inspiring leaders, socially-adept collaborators, conscientious citizens, resilient risk-takers, curious explorers, diligent researchers, and passionate self-motivated go-getters…yet these traits are routinely quashed in the traditional school setting. Dreamtime Learning Hub will close the gap between the world’s demands and our educational system’s supply.

What is a Maker’s Space at Dreamtime Learning Hub?

The focus is on interdisciplinary subjects such as science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) to foster a culture of innovation, exploration, and ongoing learning through both digital and physical formats.

Some examples of activities that are held in our fully equipped, thoughtfully designed studios and workshops at the HUB include: Building and programming robots Designing and 3D printing objects Creating and recording music Designing and creating websites Crafting and sewing projects Woodworking and metalworking Electronics and circuit building Cooking and Baking Creating, recording and editing videos
