Dysgu trwy greu (Learn by making)

Dysgu trwy greu was: 

• a safe place to learn and be creative 
• where you’ll solve problems that are relevant to your organisation 
• a hands-on approach where you’ll learn by making 
• where you’ll work in the open to share what you’ve learned and made, and to get fast feedback 
• where you’ll design for continuous ‘aha!’ moments, whether they’re mini breakthroughs or mistakes to learn from 

We want people to become confident in thinking in a ‘digital’ way and to make things in the open. 

We know from user research that people need help to know where to start when it comes to using new digital knowledge in a practical way in their teams. 

Dysgu trwy greu gives people the chance to be part of practical, immersive lab sessions where people learn digital skills and make digital products and services - in the open, for real. One of the most effective ways to learn about something new is to experience it for yourself.  

By trying out what you’ve learned through actual experimentation, you can turn theoretical knowledge into practical skills.   

We ran this project with colleagues from Natural Resources Wales.

Dysgu trwy greu is sponsored by CDPS. It has worked alongside the Skills and Capabilities team to create labs that will complement the training courses and lunch and learn sessions they’re running, as part of Campws Digidol. 

The format is a digital lab giving people the freedom to think differently. Participants learn how to:

• solve problems in a group without the constraints that may exist in an organisation
• focus on users to build better services

These are practical, immersive sessions to learn digital skills and make digital products and services - in the open, for real.
