Science as an experience: Ed Moriarty pays an inspiring visit to Uwekind International School

On Wednesday morning, 11 November, the school day at Uwekind International School began in a completely different and captivating way. A large group of around 50 enthusiastic students had the unique opportunity not just to hear about science, but to experience it first-hand – thanks to a visit from Ed Moriarty, an instructor at the Edgerton Center of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Bridges between the classroom and real life

During the dynamic, emotion-filled workshop, Ed masterfully built a bridge between the abstract concepts studied at school and the real world around us.

Despite the limited time, he challenged the young minds in the best possible way – focusing on thinking, asking deep questions and searching, rather than on ready-made answers.

The visit to Uwekind proved once again that when science is taught through hands-on action and the freedom to experiment, students’ curiosity becomes the most powerful driver of learning.
