From Open Source Ecology
- Curriculum package - big companies develop eng curriculum
- Stiftung Gymnasium - they provide curruculum, teachers have apathy because they are forced to teach something that has been thrown upon then
- Will teach 3D printer course - with lifecycle assessment.
- Board CAD - https://sourceforge.net/projects/boardcad/files/latest/download
- School pays money to Foundation to generate curriculum
- Teachers are required to file new ideas for curriculum every year. One block every 6 weeks.
- Teachers are short of ideas. They can't design ideas themselves - but external companies. STEM should be about companies.
- In practice, no companies are interested.
- What if it is OSE?
- Teachers would love it. Teacher provides it to Foundation. Dirk thinks this could work.
- Colleague is working with schools.
- This other person can tell what is needed.
- Format for what is needed. Will it be manageable - or will it be nonsense.
- Most of the time - the Foundation doesn't understand what they are handling.
- What they handle is secret. Why? Because it is horrible.
- FUBAR curriculum.
- We would develop for O&O - R&D equivalent. Onderzoek en Ontwerp.
- There are good teachers that could be doing our work.
- There is a school that is good.
- O&O would be students up to 4-6 years in a school.
- Dirk is building this -
Summary
- Conclusion - we can set up PD for O&O teachers online
- 2485 high schools
- 102 in Dirk's area
- Eindhoven area - 1000 tech companies competition
- Generally interested, but where do we take it from here? How does it apply to us?
- Let's build products - is too hard for them.
- Next steps - go to PD guys - to see if there are possibilities
- Bring up the curriculum dev to teachers - to help develop the curriculum.
- Teachers that understand how to build something.
- Upvote quality of projects.
- Retain continuity is the last step - which happens from teachers' side.
