Mindstorms
Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas
Book • 1980
In 'Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas,' Seymour Papert argues for a revolutionary approach to education where children use computers to generate creativity, explore deep learning, and challenge conventional education paradigms.
Papert's theory of constructionism emphasizes learning through making, building, and interactive discovery.
He introduces the concept of 'Microworlds' and the Logo programming language to foster this interactive, constructivist method of learning.
The book highlights the potential of computers to transform education by enabling children to become active architects of their own knowledge, rather than passive recipients of information.
