Tiivistelmä:
Open-ended, materially mediated invention projects offer ample opportunities for knowledge creation and multifaceted learning in educational settings. This chapter describes how knowledge creation takes place in invention projects when students solve open-ended design challenges together, using tangible and digital tools and materials. Learning to innovate, to create knowledge, and to solve multifaceted, complex problems with perseverance and without being afraid of failure are skills that we consider will be essential in the future society. As an example of multifaceted knowledge creation through an open-ended invention process, a case from an invention project conducted at a secondary school in Helsinki, Finland is presented. The invention project of one team of student inventors is described from the perspective of the dimensions of conceptual knowledge that they built and created during the project.
