The conference will take place May 26 through May 29 2020 at Trinity College Dublin. The conference theme of Exploring, Testing and Extending our Understanding of Constructionism challenges all, researchers and practitioners, to further our collective understanding of constructionism. We need to consider how theory and empirical evidence from other disciplines can be used to critique, and ultimately enhance, constructionism and constructionist activities as we move towards the second quarter of the 21st Century.  Disciplines such as sociology and neuropsychology (to name just two) can provide us with new insights into constructionist activities.  At the same time, what does constructionism have to offer as a philosophy and theory of learning which can help society address some of the biggest challenges of our time such as intolerance, biodiversity and climate change? (…) With the rise of computer programming, robotics, etc. in school curricula globally, why do we not see more direct reference to constructionism and what do we need to do to challenge attitudes in education?
