How to make a big impression? Become a vocational/technical secondary student and invite the primary school children who invented the Dream Machine you’re working on. When Step 3 kicks in, you know it’s getting more real every single day. What started as a thought of primary school children, has become a conversation with university students to design it, and vocational secondary students to build it. From an Eternal-Confetti-Machine to a Human Drum, all of this happens in co-creation mode!

When those children have the unique opportunity to help with the building phase of the MyMachine methodology, they are greatly impressed by the expertise and audacity of these vocational students. They surely know how to pick up the design and bring it to life. They also get useful feedback from this young and demanding customer!

That’s always a deeply enriching and important moment for all involved. It’s a massive celebration of co-creation and showing respect for each other’s talents. Along the way, they learn a great deal about how to bring ideas to life and about the importance of school, as incorporating such a real-world challenge into the classroom enables them to examine their education on a deeper level.

Thank you so much to all students and educators involved, and to our incredible team at MyMachine Norway!
