1Educators and business leaders have more in common than it may seem. Teachers want to prepare students for a successful
2future. Technology companies have an interest in developing a workforce with the STEM (science,technology, engineering
3and math) skills needed to grow the company and advance the industry. How can they work together to achieve these goals?
4Play may be the answer.
5Focusing on STEM skills is important, but the reality is that STEM skills are enhanced and more relevant when combined
6with traditional, hands-on creative activities. This combination is proving to be the best way to prepare today’s
7children to be the makers and builders of tomorrow. That is why technology companies are partnering with educators to
8bring back good, old-fashioned play.
9In fact many experts argue that the most important 21st-century skills aren’t related to specific technologies or
10subject matter, but to creativity; skills like imagination, problem-finding and problem-solving, teamwork,
11optimism,patience and the ability to experiment and take risks. These are skills acquired when kids tinker
12(鼓捣小玩意),High-tech industries such as NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have found that their best overall problem solvers
13were master tinkerers in their youth.
14There are cognitive (认知的) benefits of doing things the way we did as children — building something, tearing it down,
15then building it up again. Research shows that given 15 minutes of free play, four- and five-year-olds will spend a
16third of this time engaged in spatial, mathematical, and architectural activities. This type of play-especially with
17building blocks—helps children discover and develop key principles in math and geometry.
18If play and building are critical to 21st-century skill development, that’s really good news for two reasons:Children
19are born builders, makers, and creators, so fostering（培养） 21st-century skills may be as simple as giving kids room to
20play, tinker and try things out, even as they grow older; Secondly, it doesn’t take 21st-century technology to foster
2121st-century skills. This is especially important for under-resourced schools and communities.Taking whatever materials
22are handy and tinkering with them is a simple way to engage those important “maker”skills. And anyone, anywhere, can do
23it.
