The InnoEd project, located at http://www.innoed.is/, was funded by the EU. The InnoEd project was coordinated by the Iceland University of Education, linking together institutions from Iceland, Finland, UK and Norway.

Innoed involves children inventing new objects, redesigning things that already exist and building for change to enhance and improve the conditions of social life. It encourages children and young people to look carefully and critically at the material world that surrounds them. It teaches, through active engagement, that the material world has been made by people and can be altered, changed and improved. It develops critical thinking and practical skills in design and technology and in marketing and enterprise.
