Maker Education for Teachers

An Introduction to Maker Education for Teachers

Maker education is about giving students access to a new class of technologies, enabling students to design, build, invent and problem solve in new and unique ways. This type of tinkering allows students to transform ideas into reality, sparks interest in STEM careers and develops growth mindset, curiosity, self-efficacy and collaborative problem-solving. Schools and districts are designing makerspaces to inspire the next generation to invent and learn vital skills for post-secondary success in today’s global economy.
