Abstract

The Digital Learning Innovations project tested the potential of pedagogical and technological innovations to improve the quality and accessibility of learning for Syrian refugee children and host communities. Based on the Coder-Maker Digital Innovations Kit (CMDI Kit) the project targeted refugees’ learning along with underserved Lebanese students. The project reached forty-one schools, spread across 5 locations impacting 61 educators, 41 principals and 1,470 students. It successfully addressed educational challenges in post-crisis and refugee situations such as school violence and lack of motivation. It provided a transformative experience to teachers and students, who developed a deep sense of purpose.
