Interaction. Hacking education with @St... Game and Education. Hackons l’école ! À l'occasion de la rentrée, OWNI hacke l'Education nationale.
Pour se préparer au monde de demain, une autre pédagogie existe, celle des hackers. Les hackerspaces et les makerspaces, ces lieux physiques où se réunissent les hackers, « sont les écoles du futur ». Tel est le credo de James Carlson, fondateur de The School Factory [en] une association qui accompagne la création de ces endroits dédiés aux expérimentations électro-informatiques et au Do It Yourself (DIY, « fais-le toi-même »).
Et il parle d’un futur très proche : « Que voulons-nous dire par le terme “école” en 2020 ? ».
