Block Magic is a research project funded by the EU Life Long Learning programme of the EU Commission. It's aim is to introduce a new teaching methodology and technology targeting young children who are attending pre-school or the early years of primary school.
Block Magic will provide a highly motivating approach to teaching a broad range of specific logical, mathematical, language, strategic and social skills which will be important for learners in later life. Block Magic will support the acquisition of life skills where alternative teaching methods may be less effective.
One of the partners for Block Magic is the Lega Del Filo d'Oro, a founding MDVI Euronet partner.
