Session Type: Structured Poster Session
In this structured poster session, we explore the current field of maker assessments. As making continues to enter different educational spaces, scholars and practitioners have struggled to capture the quality of learning, participation, and engagement that takes place as a result. We bring together scholars looking at a diverse range of maker activities to address two queries: 1) What standards and measures of success do different maker educators and researchers employ? 2) What are the different strategies, tools, and methods that they use to capture these? By compiling and cataloging these new approaches, our goal is not only to develop an ongoing research agenda, but also to think more holistically about the value of making as an educational practice.
