Alon Akademie

Ich bin auf der Suche nach jemandem, der Erfahrung mit dem Schreiben von Kinderbüchern hat und mir ein paar Ideen geben könnte für einen Twine workshop für Kinder. Wir würden gerne das erste Kapitel für eine Geschichte schreiben und die Kinder können diese dann nach eigenem Geschmack weiterentwickeln. So würden wir nachher ein digitales Kinderbuch erzeugen mit 10 verschiedenen Enden.

This weekend we got to launch our very first Alon Space in Manila, Philippines. Throughout the weekend we had 120 kids explore the maker in themselves. The most important shoutout to Hannah Ignacio & Marco Johan Acevedo who planned and executed this amazing event with the incredible support from our amazing partners at VIVITA, Inc.. Some incredible moments I want to highlight: - over 20 volunteers supported us by driving the kids, manning the stations and helping in preparation of the space - up to 40 kids at once were in the space and it was quiet. The kids were so focused that we had to whisper to not disturb them. - seeing a 6 year old figure out by herself how to design a 3D design and print it is heartmelting A special shoutout goes out to those who came by to support us. Mayor Joy Belmonte-Alimurung posted after visiting us about the event and we immediately got amazing offers that will enable us to continue our work. (Link to her post: https://lnkd.in/e6Xd6ypH)

On March 9th & 10th we will soft launch our very first makers' lab in Manila where we will help children reignite their passion for learning and empower them to create products that they care about. As part of our mission we are trying to source as many materials from the community as possible, to prove to the kids that you do not need money to create something great. A key feature of our lab will be a digital art and industrial design station, where imagination meets technology. To bring this vision to life, we're in need of 10 tablets. Your unused iPads or Android tablets could play a crucial role in sparking creativity and innovation among these children. If you're willing to contribute by donating an old tablet, I'm more than happy to cover the shipping costs within Europe. Your support could make a world of difference in inspiring the next generation of makers and thinkers.

Exploring the Thought: "Redefining Successful Education" In the corporate world, the power of well-assembled teams is undeniable. They navigate challenges, innovate, and drive success. But do we apply the same principle to our society? Imagine a nation where every individual's potential is not just recognized but fully realized. The true wealth of a country lies not just in its economic status but in the maximized potential of its people. Here’s a thought: Education is our tool to unlock this potential. But is our current metric of success, often measured by grades, truly indicative of future societal contributors and leaders? Perhaps it's time to shift our focus from academic achievements to Impact. It’s about fostering an environment where collective advancement is at the forefront of education and success is not measured in degrees but in long-term contribution to progress. This isn’t just applicable to education. Recognizing and prioritizing impact can permeate through our businesses, our political systems, and our daily lives, crafting a society that operates at its optimal potential. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. #Education #SocietalImpact #CollectiveAdvancement #FutureLeaders
