The Anywhere/Anyplace Academy (A/AA) got its conceptual start this morning with a group of 8 year olds who brainstormed ideas of what a school should be. Practical suggestions such as “underground” (to avoid dragons) and pedagogical theories like “learning by playing” were suggested, all of which will inform the structure that is to come.
By the end of the day the crew created many drawings and ideas, a stanchion corral for building supplies and the beginnings of a mast/hearth. It’s just the beginning, bring your ideas tomorrow!
