2. Maker Education

Besides, Wen Jinyong stood on the podium and started speaking. He said: "Dear teachers and primary school students, hello everyone!

Today, when the maker training class is opened, as the head teacher of the training class, I will say a few words about innovation, creation, and maker. I hope everyone likes it."

He also said: "The title of my speech today is "Innovation, Creation, Makers must start with breeding". When I asked this topic, someone might ask, Teacher Wen is the head teacher of the maker training class, why did you mention breeding? This starts with the primary school students we are sitting. The primary school students we are sitting here came to the maker training class to participate in the training today, just like raising the maker's flower of tomorrow. We know that all things grow by seeds. Here, we primary school students are like seeds of maker. Everyone's training in the training class is to work hard to bloom maker's flower tomorrow and bear maker's fruits.

Makers must have innovative ideas and innovative thinking to guide them. Looking back on the history of science and technology over the past few hundred years, every creation is guided by innovative thinking, and the wise people can understand success through maker activities. Innovation is the driving force for the progress of the times. Only when we enter the maker activity space from an early age can we achieve tomorrow's creation and bright success.

Among our primary school students, there is still a shackle and three negative effects in innovative ideas. One shackle is exam-oriented education. The method of primary and secondary school education is to follow the exam. The current exam is a bit singular, and the exam practice has drawn many rules and regulations for students. Students can only work hard and sprint in the box. This seriously restricts students' imagination. We know that the wisdom of our ancestors and many creations start from dreams. You are like a dream of the wind. The dream of the Ming family has a slew of the wind. The success of the scientific and technological clarity is the process of the Ming family from dreams to reality.

Examination-oriented education happens to constrain the youthful dreams of teenagers in many aspects, and the rules and regulations limit the rich imagination of teenagers. Our maker training class in Ziqiang Academy provides primary school students with an educational space without exam-oriented education, allowing primary school students to go from letting their dreams fly to dreams come true in this maker space.

Let’s talk about three major adverse effects:

One of the major adverse effects is Qiong Yao's romance novels, which blow a premature love among teenagers. This premature love fever makes the flowers of boys and girls withered early, and parents are heartbroken and helpless when facing their children's premature love. Romance novels mess up the souls of teenagers and make it difficult for innovative thinking to take root deep in their souls.

The second major adverse effect is that the movie "Tiny Times" creates a kind of style of pursuing wealth among teenagers, showing off wealth and comparing style. These three styles make teenagers only know how to compare food, clothing, and luxury cars, and how can they have the heart to innovate?

The three major adverse effects are time travel dramas, which induce girls among teenagers to dream of traveling to the Qing Dynasty to be princesses, and boys to travel to the time travel to the knights more than 800 years ago. What the progress of our era needs is makers, not princesses and knights. People who dream of being princesses and knights are a reaction against history.

Innovative thoughts and thinking must break the shackles of exam-oriented education and eliminate the three major adverse effects in order to take root deep in the souls of young people.

Our Boai University is keeping up with the trend of the times, and maker education is appearing on university campuses. Our university is different from other universities. The maker education we carry out starts with children.

We know that ten years of trees have been growing up for people. Our children’s maker training class sets up maker courses for children and opens maker spaces to provide students with environment, resources and opportunities based on creation. Our teachers will be the ones who will nurture seeds into maker flowers and maker fruits in ten years.

Finally, I hope that the primary school students who are sitting, you will work hard to become the flower of maker in this maker home we have opened!”
