Making: Best Practice

Creating A Makerspace5FOR ME, MAKING HAS 4 DIMENSIONS

If you build it, they will come and if you let them build it, they will learn. (p.16)

1. Making As PLAYYes, kids love technology, but they also love Legos, scented markers, handstands, books, and mud puddles. Its all about balance. (via Twitter, attribution unknown)Creating A Makerspace6the idea of making is playful combining social and creative forces that encompass play and learning. (Kolk, 2011)

2. Making As ENTREPRENEURSHIP Creating A Makerspace7Makerspaces can develop

lifelong interests in STEM or in other creative fields but also to think entrepreneurially and seek to make their own jobs and industries

Fleming, L. Worlds of Making, p. 38In Issue 18, Term 1 2016 of TechnologyEd youll find my ideas onStudent Entrepreneurship (and 3D printed smartphone cases, Richard Branson and shoe care kits.)

(think maybe film production, 3D design or molecular gastronomy)

3. Making As SOCIAL JUSTICECreating A Makerspace8
