Objectives
• To understand the maker movement a little more
• To have a quick overview of some of the latest maker technology for education
• To think about your own maker spaces at school (use the diagram provided)
• To have a play

Children learn best when they are actively engaged in constructing something that has personal meaning to them – be it a poem, a robot, a sandcastle or a computer program
- Seymour Papert

Every maker of video games knows something that the makers of curriculum don't seem to understand. You'll never see a video game being advertised as being easy. Kids who do not like school will tell you it's not because it's too hard. It's because it's--boring” ― Seymour Papert
