Play like you want to learn something! #EduSkyAU

A3. When we minimise play, we don’t just lose engagement—we amputate wonder. We teach young people that life is a performance, not a process. We risk cultivating perfectionists instead of problem-solvers. Cogs instead of creators. #EduSkyAU

A2. Deep learning without play is like trying to breathe with half a lung. You might survive, but you won’t thrive. Play is the rehearsal room of creativity—it’s how we prototype understanding. Strip it away, and we flatten curiosity into compliance. #EduSkyAU

It wasn’t amazing. Still a bit tender but I’ll survive!

Tinkering is the best way to start. Even if your're not sure...what's the worst thing that can happen?! #EduSkyAU

Yes. Constraints are the fuel of creativity and innovation. Resources are finite. #EduSkyAU

A5. Students shape the space with me. Whether it’s rearranging tables or choosing what goes on the walls, their voice is central. Design becomes a mirror of the community we’re building—relational, respectful, and regenerative. #EduSkyAU

Yeah brilliant. I haven’t taught it yet, so interesting to see how it looks. #EduSkyAU

Safety. It’s all we are thinking. And there’s some pretty hi tech equipment in there! #EduSkyAU

The hardest thing in the Design & Tech space is getting the initial setup prepared for safety, flow and storage. #EduSkyAU

I’ll keep you posted. Sounds like I might need to get some ideas from you and @brookssensei.bsky.social #EduSkyAU

A4: not much. Everything is pretty much fixed. We can move benches for specific events but for the most part, ovens and cooktops don’t move. In our engineering rooms, pretty much the same. #EduSkyAU
