Twin’s learning vision takes its roots back to 2010 when Twin started out as a social responsibility project and conducted hours of fieldwork with over 20,000 children in Young Guru Academy. The insight we gained during our fieldwork was further developed based on findings in the learning sciences literature and finalized with our planet’s needs in mind.
Summary
Twin’s approach to learning is:
- Personalized: Tailoring the learning path to the individual needs, interests, and skill development progress of each student.
- Interdisciplinary: Blurring the lines between subject disciplines to make learning fun, engaging, and relevant which helps students observe the impact of decisions in different disciplines.
- Active: Leading children to construct knowledge themselves through interactive, inquiry-based activities, rather than having them passively consume the knowledge.
- Applied: Presenting knowledge that emphasizes the practical application of that knowledge to develop specific abilities needed in real-world settings that children can connect with their experiences and apply to real-life situations
- Purpose-driven: Inspiring kids to become creative and curious problem solvers who can dream beyond themselves to find innovative solutions to the world’s greatest problems.
- Social: Creating communities for children to actively engage with their peers and role-model STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) experts.
Twin aims to provide this learning approach to every stakeholder in student learning; students, parents, teachers, school administrators, and policy makers.
Twin’s mission is to provide/be
- Playful learning tools and environment for students
- Insight support for parents
- Digital assistant and insight support for teachers
- Performance tracking for school administrators
- Skill/human capacity maps for policymakers
Double-Wing Philosophy
Children born with wings and a traditional education system that is based on a one-size-fits-all model weaken and cut the wings.
The guiding light for Twin’s learning vision has always been raising a double-winged generation. Why? Because to tackle the problems of the 21st century, the world needs individuals who are not just knowledgeable subject-matter experts, but also socially conscious change-makers who are willing to make meaningful changes and succeed together.
