Thinking like a Maker: Low- or No-cost Activities for Inclusive Making

Feedback form is now closed.

As an educator, you understand that digital age learners who attend well-resourced schools often have advantageous learning experiences that can impact the development of important skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and creativity. The teaching and learning of the 4C’s (creativity, communication, collaboration and creative thinking) and design thinking using Maker activities has cross-curricular applications which are important for *all* students. We present (with worked models / samples) several low-cost activities that make these important 21st century skills accessible for all elementary and middle school students. Come see our engineering and design projects! During our interactive discussion, we share tips and tools for low or no cost activities and engage with participants to hear their ideas! Resources will be shared.
