“MAKEDO IS A CELEBRATION OF THE HUMAN CREATIVE PROCESS. ITS MOST EMPOWERING FEATURE IS ITS ABILITY TO FACILITATE COLLABORATION, CREATIVE THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING” – SHANA UPITER, PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER, AUSTRALIA.
Makedo is more than a building system Makedo is an open-ended system of creativity and play that develops problem solving, fine & gross motor skills, spatial relations, self expression, teamwork, coordination and concentration. Makedo can be used to achieve simple or sophisticated outcomes. It suits a broad range of ages and applies hands-on learning to curriculums including art, design and technology, science, math, drama and more. Makedo invites students and teachers to engage in a learning process that involves investigation of materials, creative expression and sharing of outcomes. It’s playful and fun — and is underpinned by an environmental message about reuse.
