STORIES
Innovation at UWCSEA a builder’s paradise and dreamer’s playground IDEAS HUB Opened in August 2016 and funded through gifts to the College, the IDEAS Hub on Dover is a vibrant space with areas for collaboration, prototyping and fabricating, coding and robotics, as well as two media studios. The IDEAS Hub is one of the College’s flagship teaching and learning initiatives. It is a community space that aims to inspire and support creators of all ages to explore, innovate, collaborate and create sustainable solutions to shape a better world. It also extends the impact of our holistic, values-based curriculum by providing opportunities for community members to deepen their knowledge and passions outside of the learning programme. Looking ahead: The IDEAS Hub is a tremendous testament to community generosity and the exciting next phase is underway. There are many exciting plans for the next five years, including exploring new opportunities for partnerships and expanding the range of equipment and resources available, allowing us to continue to provide opportunities for creativity and innovation that our future leaders need to create a more sustainable, prosperous and compassionate tomorrow.
“Our young students may not become famous for their first project and it may not be the next thing they create or the next . . But the key for us as a school is to create the environment where they can try and fail, and try again . . and so help them develop the underlying attitudes that will eventually enable them to be successful.” BEN MORGAN, Founding Director IDEAS Hub
