When I compare the Intel Learn students with other students I teach at my school, I find that the Intel learners are more independent, more collaborative at school and at home, and better behaved in class. (Egyptian staff member)
I personally think that the beauty of this program is not only to teach technology literacy but also to take learners beyond it, thereby exposing them to think, brainstorm, share, and then write in their own words. This is the need of today, when we step out of our schools to the real workplace. (Indian staff member)
Positive outcomes for teaching staff Positive classroom environments are being developed Thanks to the Intel Learn Program, we were able to discover
new aspects about some of the children’s personalities. Those children who had a reputation for being behaviorally challenged turned out to be able to find very imaginative solutions to the tasks. Thanks to the program, they’re learning collaboration. But the most interesting thing for the teacher is to learn children’s views on local community and what they think are the main problems it has. (Russian staff member)
