Turbine of Change in Education

The Change Turbine Project is a digital innovation and creativity space where students meet like-minded individuals, build friendships, collaborate, innovate, and invent. These often involve computer science, machine learning, industry, science, and digital fields. The Change Turbine Project deploys innovation one project at a time, focusing on hands-on, do-it-yourself (or do-it-with-others) learning where students come together around a range of activities, including textile making, robotics, cooking, woodcraft, electronics, digital fabrication, mechanical repair, or construction—in short, making almost anything. This focus on creative learning is one of the reasons why the Change Turbine Project is seen by educators as a key to innovation and an ideal way to set students up for future success.
