Making the Future: Addressing Critiques, Transitions, and New Challenges in Maker Education

Mon, April 20, 8:15 to 9:45am, Virtual Room

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

The body of research on making continues to grow, facing critiques and challenges about
the activities, outcomes, and philosophies that are supported through making, as well as
the educational implications. We present international perspectives on making that make
explicit who and what is being supported in making and in what ways we operationalize
it. By considering multimodality through diversity of tools and practices and through
interdisciplinary approaches and findings, we present examples and make explicit the
relationship of making to research and practices that shape learning, collaboration, equity,
and professions in ways that impact individual and societal outcomes both locally and
globally. Participants and attendees will collectively and collaboratively discuss the
implications of such research for teaching and learning.
