4 countries, one shared mission: rethinking tech in early childhood education 🌍

At the end of May, students and lecturers from Germany, Finland, Ireland and Estonia gathered at Tallinn University to explore how digital technology can be meaningfully used in kindergartens and primary schools. 💻👶

The week combined lectures, hands-on workshops, GPS art, and AR-based city exploration, along with an inspiring visit to PROTO Invention Factory. Participants also observed real learning environments at Kullatera Kindergarten and Pääsusilma Kindergarten, connecting theory with everyday practice. 😍

Programme ended with international team presentations sharing ideas on how to integrate technology thoughtfully into early education. 🌱💡

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a 16-member group of mathematics teachers from Spain! 🌎😊

During the visit, we discussed how digital technologies and various innovative teaching methods are integrated into primary school mathematics education. Particular interest was shown in the use of robotics in lessons and how it can be connected to learning mathematics.

The day included many engaging discussions and exchanges of experience, and it provided inspiration on how to further develop active learning and digital pedagogy. 🤝
