65.057 - The Maker Movement in Education

Sun, April 19, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Sheraton, Floor: Ballroom Level, Sheraton I

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In this symposium we share findings from a series of studies that explore the range of research on “The Maker Movement” in education. We propose the use of three simple approaches as filters for framing research questions, design decisions, and policy-making: making as a set of activities, makerspaces as communities of practice, and makers as identities of participation. Across all of these lenses we explore the multi-disciplinarity of making and describe how the maker movement affords young people opportunities to learn in the arts, engineering, and entrepreneurship. Our research focuses on when, how, and why interdisciplinary learning is made possible.
