Unmaking is the process of taking something apart in order to understand how it works. It turns kids from passive consumers to creators. It helps them on their journey of understanding electronics, engineering, and so much more
What’s Taught?
Learning Outcome
- Unmaking is hands-on-learning.
- Letting kids deconstruct an everyday object to discover how it works.
- Taking things apart is the learning and does not require one to have to try to memorise and reassemble it like a puzzle.
- The kids are inspired on a treasure hunt to find various bits that make our devices work.
- Our kids are driven by fascination of what was inside to make it work.
Software
- Just brains and curiosity :)
- We use ewaste items such as laptops of CDRom drives and guide the kids through the process of unmaking these and working out what all the bits are and how they operate.
Materials
- Any old broken electronics item.
- Screwdriver set.
- Internet for searching how things work and identifying bits (or a knowledgeable adult).
