MyMachine Global Foundation
www.mymachine-global.orgEnabling young people to drive their own future, to become the self-motivated problem solving, creative, self-employed or team members that companies, organizations and the world at large are looking for. Whether you want to solve a challenge in your job or neighbourhood, create something fun, start your own company or whether you want to come up with a solution for something personal or a global issue, all require bold action to bring your idea to life. This is where (in the words of Harvard University) MyMachine delivers the “I can do that” perspective to all participants. Through MyMachine: - students learn that having ideas is important. That you shouldn’t be afraid to express your ideas -even if they sound a bit weird or challenging in the beginning. They learn what it takes to bring an idea to life; and that you can do it by respecting each other’s talents, co-create, collaborate and not giving up; - teachers and professors experience the power of project based learning. They participate in an open education process that proves to students that what happens in a classroom can impact the -and has a link to- the real world. That’s the pivotal moment they realise that MyMachine – and thus education – brings them skills they can use for life. And the best part of it: it’s crazy fun! Our unique methodology: #1. Primary school children invent a 'dream machine' (an IDEA) #2. they DESIGN it in collaboration with university students; and #3. they build it with the help of technical/vocational secondary school students into a WORKING PROTOTYPE. MyMachine is endorsed by Sir Ken Robinson, Harvard University , The New York Academy of Sciences, Sir Richard Branson, Agoria, Chamber of Commerces, Peter Gamwell, Tom Vander Ark, Qatar Foundation, Katerva. MyMachine is active worldwide. Awards: United Nations WSA, Reimagine Education, HundrED, Designmanagement Europe, Lern.
