SYKLI Professional Development for Teachers

Teachers learning to make sounds.
Our place-Innovative Technology and Trash Design for High School Students.


“Our place” developed by SYKLI, is a program that gives teachers professional development opportunities.  Their motto is – observations-ideas-experimenting-fulfillment- assessment. This particular workshop I attended, was trying to attract schools to adopt this hands-on program, starting Fall 2018.  All the materials would be free for schools.  This curriculum was geared toward biology, physics, mathematics, art, and handcrafting classes.  The ideas introduced here could also be incorporated to health, chemistry and music classes. The curriculum uses Mehack and Dodo kits.  Participating teacher will receive full training and a kit free.  

Another workshop I attended was “Trash Design” course.  The idea was to use existing materials to make something useful and link everything to existing curriculum. 
The purpose was to recruit high school teachers to start a technology program using Mehack and Dodo kits. Participating teacher wll receive full training and a kit free.
