Mind Mapping for Kids and Parents
Unleash the Power of Your Mind
Learn to think like Albert Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci! Both made use of a powerful technique known as visual thinking to explore concepts and develop ideas through organic maps that incorporated colourful sketches, creative doodles and keywords.
Mind mapping activates both the left and right sides of the brain, maximising our ability to move beyond the linear note-taking and study techniques which dominate most learning environments today. Mind mappers find it very natural to “think outside the box,” plan effectively and get more done – all critical skills for success in an increasingly competitive world.
In these unique courses parents and kids will learn together so that families will have a shared understanding of the many practical applications of this powerful technique at any age.
What You’ll Learn
- What a mind map is, and why mapping makes you smarter
- How to make your schoolwork (and grown-up work) more fun
- The 7 Key Mapping Principles that will make your maps powerful
- What to do with mind maps in your everyday life
What You’ll Do
- Practice making several mind maps of your own: hand-drawn and electronic
- See examples of mind maps other people have made
- Have loads of fun learning with your family!
What to Bring
To practice making an electronic mind map, please be prepared to bring one laptop computer to the class. When you register, we’ll send you details on the free mind mapping software to download before you come.
Please also bring a set of medium tipped felt marking pens in 8-12 colours. You will use this in the class and for your future mind maps!
