About

Resource site on building your own Makerspace. For Year 1 students of Industrial Design at School of Design, RMIT University.

Question

How did the students adapt to 'making' at home'?

Sample: For the Solar Cooker Project, I asked the students to cook in makeshift cookers. Something we couldnt have done in the maker space, now became possible at home. The natural place for 'cooking'.

What will be the approach to 'making' from July? To get students to reimagine their workspaces at home, as a maker space.

I am passionate about rewriting 'industrial design education' for 1st year students.

I am passionate about privileging learning.

I believe in leaving space for the student to grow.

I believe students are hugely talented, and can make themselves even more awesome.

If left alone to work on themselves.

I reflect on and write about this passion in my blog: https://rawslearn.wordpress.com/
