Engage students in meaningful making during residencies and camps
In this experiential course, participants will explore the pedagogical potential of creating and making for supporting personalized, experiential, and project-based learning. Through hands-on skill-building modules, you’ll gain confidence with a variety of STEAM / makerspace tools and technologies for creating and making, such as laser cutters, 3D printers, electronics, hand tools, coding, and computer science.
The course includes a synchronous immersive creation lab experience, followed by asynchronous independent learning time where you’ll apply your new technical skills to design and prototype engaging STEAM curriculum with hands-on learning artifacts and a personally meaningful project.
Throughout, we’ll read and discuss literature on pedagogies and instructional shifts that creating and making can enable, such as UDL, STEAM integration, project-based learning, design thinking, and maker education.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a portfolio showcasing your learning, a meaningful making project, a curricular application plan for using making in your teaching context, and reflections related to the essential question: What role can creating and making play in designing integrated STEAM-aligned project-based learning that engages and empowers today’s students?
“For over a decade the Create Make Learn community has brought me enormous joy. I look forward to introducing you to amazing educators who are also passionate about bringing hands-on / minds-on learning opportunities to our students“
