"Two years ago I attended an edtech conference focused on the then up-and-coming trend of makerspaces. The opening keynote speaker ended his presentation with a charge for all in attendance: “I hope that makerspaces don’t become an edtech fad that goes away as quickly as it has risen to popularity; I hope you all can figure out how to do it right.”
"if makerspaces provide opportunities for students to understand and implement design thinking, service learning, and 21st century skills, those students are going to be more prepared for a future workforce that is going to require these very skills."
