The Collective is a supportive and inspiring community of teachers interested in all things 'maker'. It is a chance for colleagues to ask questions, share ideas and influence the future direction of Maker{School}. We currently meet about four times a year in Sheffield (or online) to try out some making, get inspired and grab a bite to eat!
