Jill BergeronResources about in this article which emphasizes skills over stuff when it comes to making.
-
To realize the opportunity that the maker movement offers education, students need room for self-directed learning and interdisciplinary problem solving.
-
While setting up spaces for hands-on tinkering, schools also need to make mental space for creativity, risk taking, and learning from failure. Those qualities are central to maker culture, but still rare in too many school settings.
-
More important than gaining access to expensive tools is learning how to turn raw ideas into prototypes that can be tested, refined, and improved through feedback.
-
Students who gravitate toward an engineering or STEM approach to problem solving may get fresh ideas from watching artists work out solutions (and visa versa). Collaboration is more likely to happen when thinking and tinkering take place in the open.
-
parents team up with their children for monthly Maker Saturdays.
-
Encourage students to tell the stories behind their ideas and describe the process that took them from inspiration to finished product.

-
Maker Faires are community events that showcase and celebrate grassroots creativity.
-
Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these "makers" come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.
