4.2 Resource based, active learning put simply:

Constructionism is both:

• a theory of learning and a strategy for education.

• Built on the "constructivist" theories of Jean Piaget

• Knowledge is not simply transmitted from teacher to student,
  but actively constructed by the mind of the learner.

• Children don't get ideas; they make ideas.

• Constructionism suggests that learners are particularly likely to make new ideas when they are actively engaged:
  ==> in making some type of external artifact
  (a robot, a Lego tower a computer program...)
  ==> which they can reflect upon and share with others.

• (1) the construction of knowledge

• (2) in the context of building personally and socially meaningful artifacts.
