Astrid Poot tells about the importance of creating makers
Astrid Poot feels very strongly about the importance of teaching kids more than just digital skills. She talks about the importance of discovery and building confidence in young children by not only teaching them how to use a computer. But also teach them to take stuff apart and learning about inner workings of everyday objects and machines.
