Maker Spaces for Schools That Inspire Momentum

Instructor: Dr. Meredith Harbord

Audience: Teachers and Administrators Pre K - 12

 Many schools are interested in establishing a Maker Space to encourage creativity and innovation but lack the philosophical understanding required to design and maintain this type of space. Or alternatively Maker Spaces have been established in many educational settings frequently funded to promote STEAM initiatives but often after a short time the centre loses direction. This course examines the Multidimensional facet of learning as a process through a constructivist and connectivism approach. This course is designed for both classroom practitioners; school administrators including curriculum coordinators who want to understand the educational value of running and sustaining a Maker space in school.
