On Aug. 28, 26 Innovation Cluster Ambassadors gathered to kick off the new school year. It was the first time that all of the cluster's companies came together to discuss the topic of Education. In total, all companies now have more than 40 Ambassadors. Ambassadors are “engineers for the classroom.” Sometimes, as regular subject teachers, but even more, at the request of schools, as promoters of engineering. The meeting discussed in more detail what the 4 archetypes (Bètamentality), of today's schoolchildren look like and how to approach them in different ways. There were also 2 Ambassadors of Technology from a national organization who explained how they, interactively, through the 7 worlds of technology, conveyed the same message to students.
Should you, from your school, be interested in a visit from one of our ICD Ambassadors, please feel free to contact Sara.Bohnen@philips.com or j.wageveld@variass.nl
