Our goal for this volume was to reveal how constructionism has expanded and changed since it was first introduced. This required inviting the brilliant educators, designers, and artists from all over the world that have been using-and pushing-constructionist thought for decades.
Education isn't telling kids what's possible. Or demanding they acquire the knowledge you value. It's about creating space, about listening, and supporting learners as they bring that world into being. With all the anger, love, joy, and sadness that world building entails.
Why? To get people driving and buying oil again. More tax cuts. Judges. The sacrifice of a ten/hundred of thousand people of color, working class, and older American's so that the Devos family can buy another ugly house.
This pandemic is creating a million reasons to be angry. Don't let your anger be used by billionaires that see the lives of you and your family as a resource to be burned to gain more wealth.
