The Maker education movement has become the latest trend in K-12 STEAM education. A growing number of schools and entire districts across the country are implementing make spaces in libraries, technology labs and dedicated spaces. The fundamental mistake has been the belief that these spaces are about the "stuff"; the 3D printers, laser cutters, robotics, etc. The focus must be on the outcomes desired and the environment necessary to support them.
During this seminar, participants will explore how to apply a Design Thinking approach to originating a plan for the design of their school or district's unique Innovation Space. Learn how to create and nurture a mindset focused on an outcomes-driven approach. Explore strategies to empower students to become problem "anticipators," not just problem solvers!
