Project Learning
Project led learning needs a binding force, something to hold it all together. In the Universe we have forces that do this, gravity one of these. We have been researching and exploring aspects of successful 'project led learning'. This involves those that teach and those that get taught. In fact it was realised that this works both ways.
The binding force seemed to be the understanding of a project. The environment, the processes in this space and different perspectives. At the heart of this is the Task Orientated Methodology. The application to education, simple, you need to have a basic understanding of the purpose of the project. Its inputs processes and outputs.
The first part of our project-led learning is using industrial heritage to show how to understand and explore technology. The mechanical age technology (good old MAT) is very visual and you can touch it, with your hands and minds. Perfect! Use industrial heritage as the next generations' teachers, the subtle science and engineering, layered in the very fabric of this technology.
One of these object is the good old pendulum. The pendulum is an excellent starting point for the understanding of clocks and mechanics as you can predict how they will behave based on the laws of physics. You can see into the future! This base to understanding, leds you to sports biomechanics, so diverse to robotics. You follow a fascinating journey of discovery and develop a skill that could change your life, a skill that is usually not taught until university. Over the last 15 years we have perfected methods that can now be taught in schools.
Science is not just a subject, we live surrounded by science, we are science. You begin exploring the scientific world the instant you are formed.

Project Based Learning
This is the technique we have developed based on observing energy from students, when applied and not. The spectrum was explored, the results the way we run the workshops.
E = M CC, if you have the mass of a project, the equivalent energy is massive!
It was first noticed in degrees and PhD's. If you taught through a project, you get ownership and focus.
One parent described the process 'as real life with all the risk, energy and reward'. There is only one place in the world it is taught, at the TimeMachine!

Task Orientated Methodology (TOM)
Forgive the label, but its a powerful technique that has been applied to robotics, parallel processing, business, speaker design, disabled Olympics, building evacuation and so much more.
We applied it to education and you will see the power of it all within the workshops.
