The Advancing with Maker{School} course helps you to embed maker education into all areas of the currculum using the Maker{School} Approach™. Making is established a whole-school approach to learning.

Why is making important for learning?
Why is making important for learning?
Maker education opens up hands-on opportunities for children to tinker, explore, problem-solve, and create. Maker pedagogies foster the development of 21st century skills such as creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. Although closely linked to STEM subjects, making can enhance all areas of the curriculum.
Many schools are now inspired to create their own makerspace and develop their practice. Our programme focuses on support for early years, primary and special schools.
