We describe the creation of the “Montessori creativity space,” the maker space of the “Secondo Istituto Comprensivo” primary and middle school of Francavilla Fontana, Italy. The space was inspired by the concept of Malaguzzi’s atelier as a learning environment for students, teachers, local associations and artisans. In it, the imagination and action come together to ensure cross-disciplinary learning around robotics, educational electronics, logic, computational thinking, and digital and hand-built artifacts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
