Educhange Melbourne (writing over an orange cloud)

It’s the exhibition day at Educhange 2017! Holly and the team arrived at the hall early in the morning with many boxes full of tricks and goodies to set up our stall for the day. We were ready to meet all the education enthusiasts coming to the Royal Melbourne Exhibition building today!

Come visit us at #educhange this week!

It was wonderful walking around chatting to like-minded people, all incredibly passionate about education! We met so many Australian teachers from every state, as well as international ones from Singapore, South Korea and even the US! There was a diverse range of exhibitors showcasing their education products, from jewellery-making workshops that can teach science and maths as well as practical crafting skills, to international food tours and cooking classes that allow students to experience an important part of other cultures.

I met Connor and the team from Aurora Reality, who came up with a game combining augmented reality and learning maths! The end result is a physical book you can colour in, and when hovering a tablet camera over it in the app, turns into a 3D pop-up book on screen where you can play mini maths games! How cool is that!

Our friends from the Children’s Discovery Museum were also at the exhibition! I had a great chat to them about all the interactive museums they have set up around Australia, and marvelled at all the fun toys they had on display!

You can hear more about the Children’s Discovery centre in a podcast interview produced earlier this year.

A couple of stalls down from ours were the lovely people from Ginnie & Pinney, who have published a series of books aimed at 3 to 8-year-old’s. The books are a collaboration between writers, developmental psychologists and academics in education, carefully crafted to teach children about ethics, empathy and ethics. I have spoken to a few people working towards similar goals through the use of other media forms such as apps, who claim there is a demand from teachers for innovative resources on social and emotional development for children.

At lunchtime, we unveiled our tasty surprise and made liquid nitrogen ice cream, right there in the hall! Patrons watched on as Holly mixed the liquid nitrogen and the chocolatey cream, fog pouring steadily over the sides of the bowl. Everyone agreed that our ice cream was super creamy, since it’s cooled down so much so quickly the fats and water freezes at the same time meaning the crystals formed are particularly tiny (here’s how to make your own ice-cream at school!).
