“I can see its potential for unlocking that creative side and equalising learning for children with special needs. We’ve got a child in our Year 3 class who works at Foundation level with their special needs. They love Makers Empire and creating mazes. Some of it is a bit technical, but if you give this child a really structured, scaffolded direction, they can do anything. Their birdhouse was as good as, if not better than some of the other students. You can make (learning tasks) as big or as narrow as you like and every child can meet with success…. So they’re validated and these students are not often validated. Makers Empire elevates children to feel good about themselves.”
