EDUT 5279 Makerspaces for All Students

Innovative Makerspaces for All Students 

Imagine the possibilities: a room full of tools and materials, carefully selected, for students to tinker, play, and create? Makerspaces are exceptionally beneficial to education by allowing students to drive their own learning through design processes, so they can change the world! In this course you will understand the purpose, application, and benefits of maker spaces, and identify ways to ensure the space is accessible, and representative of all students. You’ll know the right tools and materials with which to stock your makerspace, and learn both the Design Process and SCAMPER to help students frame their ideas. Whether you work with a makerspace or want to create one, this course will help you to bring additional innovation to your students’ learning experience.
