Why Makerspace?
Why Makerspace?
“We know that students learn at a deeper level and they retain more when they’re engaged in creative thinking connected to the subject, right?” he says. “So to begin with, just within the content area, (making is) going to allow for deeper learning.”

What is Makerspace?
What is Makerspace?
“I see a makerspace as simply a space designed and dedicated to hands-on creativity,” he explains, “and the key thing there is they’re actually making something. Creativity is sometimes idea generation, it’s sometimes problem-solving. But (in) a makerspace, you’re actually going to create some kind of product. Now it could be a digital product. It could be a physical product. But there is an actual product, so you’re not going to, say, design an event or a service project. That’s not what a makerspace is for, so it’s a space devoted to and differentiated and set up for making.”
