Magnex marble run
At STO, we’ve created a marble run to introduce schools in our region to technology in a fun and educational way. A “mini” marble run complete with a teacher’s guide and lesson cards for all students in (special) elementary education. Because that’s what it’s all about: discovering through doing. No dry theory, but getting hands-on. Trying things out, sometimes failing, getting back up, and trying again. Not just a simple toy, but a challenge for young and old alike.
Sterk Techniek Onderwijs Zuid Oost Brabant (Prins Willem Alexander College Veldhoven)
My name is Peer Neggers, and I have been working at the intersection of healthcare and education for over 25 years. In my technology classes, in addition to teaching technical "hard skills," I also place a strong emphasis on "soft skills," helping students learn to be reliable for future employers and build their self-confidence. Learning by doing and experiencing. On your own when possible, together when necessary. In addition to being the STO Program Director, I am also a technology teacher at PWA College Veldhoven.
