Introduction to Making

Online Course 

Introduction to Making is a three-session online course that introduces participants to the philosophy and world of making through interactive activities and Making experiences. Participants will examine their own learning environments, be it a classroom environment, library hang out space, community center, or after school fab lab, to determine how to best create a space that promotes and holds a culture of Making and sharing. Each session will challenge participants to make and share a simple DIY project with items found within the confines of their homes and online communities. As participants take on the role of Maker, and reflect on their experiences as a Maker, they will work to develop an action plan for implementing Maker activities in a learning environment. Participants will engage in reflective conversations with one another and the instructors as to how Making culture fits in with other educational initiatives such as Common Core standards and the Next Generation Science Standards.
