Online Workshop – Tinkers and Thinkers: Igniting Innovation
Description: 98% of kindergarten children are at a genius level of divergent thinking which is an aspect of creativity which allows us to see many solutions to a given problem. Over time, as we grow up, we lose this ability because we are often taught that there is only one right solution to a problem. This workshop digs into a child’s natural ability to be innovative and how, as educators, we can foster the curiosity of children so that they can flourish and meet their creative potential which will support their success as adults.

Online Workshop – Helping Educators Reflect and Find Joy in Outdoor Play
Description: As adults we often forget how our perceptions of nature and outdoor play are influenced by our past experiences and the attitudes adults had towards it. How has this affected our approach when facilitating outdoor play with children? In this workshop we will discuss our past experiences, reflect on our values, and our attitudes on outdoor play. We will discuss how these impact children, whether we intend to or not. With a better understanding of our views, truths, and perspectives we endeavor to help educators create a relationship with nature themselves and remember the joy of true free outdoor play. Together we will create something using only natural loose part materials. Through this process we hope to stoke the memories locked inside of us, of times we played with simple things like sticks or rocks and the enjoyment we got from them. To reignite or spark a love for outdoors that we can pass on to the children in our care. To create ecological literacy in ourselves and our youngest citizens. Presenter: Tamara Jacobs and Kayley Bach NOTES: – Before the workshop, the participants will be asked to collect a few natural items, a stick in particular. – This workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform. – You will need access to a smartphone, laptop, tablet or computer with a camera and audio capabilities to join us. – A link will be emailed to you the day before the workshop.
