Designing Makerspaces for the Classroom
The global phenomena of the Maker Movement is coming to schools and classrooms across the country. The Maker Movement is a revolutionary global collaboration of people learning to solve problems with modern tools and technology. Adults and children are combining new technologies and timeless craft traditions to create exciting projects and control their world. It brings a fresh perspective and new tools that drive authentic learning and meaningful assessment. The implications are profound for schools and districts concerned with engaging students, maintaining relevance, and preparing children to solve problems unanticipated by the curriculum. This session will provide resources and best practices for how to make the case for making in the classroom that is sustainable and effective. Learn how to put the conditions in place to integrate meaningful making into existing classes for maximum results school or district-wide.
