Live & Recorded
In this fascinating interview-style webinar, renowned author, researcher, and lecturer, Susan Engel, Ph.D., will describe the development of curiosity and invention and discuss how the social and physical environment either encourages or discourages the process. Susan will guide you in exploring how schools can build on children's early capacities to inquire and invent, and how this paves the way for children to pursue ideas. She will talk with us about why the capacity to pursue ideas should be at the center of the process of education.
