For English pls scroll down
Kako jednostavni mehanizmi mogu postati zanimljivi alati za igru, istraživanje i učenje?
Na radionici ćemo izrađivati vlastite drvene edukativne ploče inspirirane Montessori pedagogijom i principima „uradi sam“ (DIY) kulture. Koristeći različite mehaničke elemente poput zasuna, kopči, kotačića, zatvarača i pokretnih dijelova, polaznici će osmisliti i sastaviti interaktivnu ploču namijenjenu poticanju fine motorike, koordinacije pokreta, koncentracije i samostalnog istraživanja kod djece.
Kroz praktičan rad upoznat ćemo osnovne principe jednostavnih mehanizama, istražiti mogućnosti kombiniranja materijala i funkcija te promišljati odnos između dizajna, igre i učenja.
Radionica je namijenjena roditeljima, odgojiteljima, pedagozima i svima zainteresiranima za DIY pristup oblikovanju edukativnih pomagala. Predznanje nije potrebno.
Svaki polaznik na radionici izrađuje vlastitu Montessori-inspiriranu ploču koju može ponijeti kući.

Workshop: DIY Montessori Board – Small Mechanisms, Big Discoveries
Radiona.org invites you to the workshop DIY Montessori Board – Little Mechanisms, Big Discoveries, led by Deborah Hustić, on Friday, 23 October 2026, starting at 6 PM at Radiona.
How can simple mechanisms become exciting tools for play, exploration, and learning?
In this workshop, participants will create their own wooden educational activity boards inspired by Montessori pedagogy and do-it-yourself (DIY) culture. Using various mechanical elements such as latches, buckles, wheels, fasteners, and moving parts, participants will design and assemble interactive boards intended to support children’s fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, concentration, and independent exploration.
Through hands-on activities, we will explore the basic principles of simple mechanisms, experiment with combining different materials and functions, and reflect on the relationship between design, play, and learning.
The workshop is intended for parents, preschool teachers, educators, and anyone interested in a DIY approach to creating educational tools. No prior experience is required.
Each participant will create their own Montessori-inspired activity board to take home.
Registration is open until Thursday, 22 October 2026, at midnight via the following link: https://forms.gle/9FKYXHwu28prECNZ7
Date: Friday, 23 October 2026
Time: 6:00–9:00 PM
Venue: Radiona, Zagreb
Participation fee: €20 (all materials included)
Places are limited. Registration is required.
From the same series, there are also workshops on making a sensory board and a workshop on making a Montessori board with electronics.
