Sandy Garner from Otago University hosted the Lego Education Conference in March . The special guest was Chris Rogers from Tufts University in USA. Chris was a great presenter and so much of what he had to say resonated with my philosophy of how learning happens best.

2. Passion for finding answers (learning)
3. Test validity of answers (reflection)
4. self-confidence (transfer)
How do we make it happen?
