What sets LEC apart from others?

LEC programmes are based on 'Learning by making' (Constructionism). These programmes are designed to promote creative thinking, improve communication and co-operation skills, and strengthen the ability to acquire new knowledge.

'Constructionism-based programme makes learning interesting, promotes deep exploration of concepts learnt and allows learning to last in the mind.'
-Professor Seymour Papert, MIT.

The theory states:
learning happens especially well when children are engaged in constructing meaningful products, such as a sand castle, song, a machine or a computer programme.
   
when students are involved in creating something, making something, building something, they are simultaneously building knowledge in their minds. They are trying out ideas, making conjectures and testing them, making connections between ideas or re-organising them - in short, they are building knowledge structures.
   
This newly formed knowledge enables children to build even more sophisticated constructions, which yields more knowledge in a self-reinforcing cycle.
   

To further reinforce learning in an interesting way, LEC uses the effective learning process, the 4Cs in all our lessons:
