Maker-Spacing Your Distance Learning

April 23, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Mackin has heard that maker education, hands-on learning, and STEM teaches students collaboration, a growth mindset, creativity, problem solving, and many other crucial skills that they need to be successful in the twenty-first century. How might you set up conditions for maker education at home in practical ways for teachers, students, and the adults who are supporting and learning alongside them? This webinar will explore ways to turn your home into a makerspace.
