Why are MakerSpaces trending? Why is Maker Education so important? In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood welcome Michael Mino, an Education Development Specialist with over 25 years of experience in K-16 public and private education. Michael is also the founder of numerous innovative student programs and currently serves as the Director of Career and Maker Education at Rancho Del Rey in Monterrey Mexico where he established a MakerSpace to serve underprivileged students.   Listen in to learn the power of the MakerSpace movement and how MakerSpaces serve students with a lower socioeconomic status in the Digital Age. Michael describes the key differences between traditional education and Maker Education, along with the pros and cons of focusing more on STEM and incorporating digital technology into education.   “A MakerSpace can be a catalyst for deeper academic learning.” – Michael Mino   Then, Michael highlights his first-hand experience of the benefits of combining MakerSpaces with traditional schooling and how success in a MakerSpace can lead to success in the classroom. Plus… Michael highlights the skills students learn in MakerSpaces and how they're preparing kids for the future.   “Success is part of the key to becoming more creative and becoming more technically competent.” – Michael Mino   Michael's Tips for Teachers and Parents: You can create a MakerSpace at any budget, so work with what you have. You can always build up your budget later. Your environment is the third teacher. If you don't have a dedicated space, again, work with what you have. Try creating a Maker Center within your classroom, your desk, library, workshop, etc. Start with where you are right now.

In the Image of GodRead Genesis 1:26, 27 and Genesis 5:1, 3. What do these texts teachabout how God originally created humanity, and then what hap-pened to humanity after sin?The phrase “the image of God” has captivated interpreters of theBible for centuries. What is this image in which the first humans werecreated? For example, does it mean that God looked in a mirror andformed His new creation to look like Himself? Or does it mean thathumans are more like God than all other forms of life are? Or does itrefer to a spiritual and intellectual similarity and compatibility betweenthe Creator and His human creation? The Scriptures do not give anyprecise explanation of this expression even though scholars havederived from Scripture many interpretations of what it could mean.However, we can see that, after sin, this image had been changed, whichis why Ellen G. White wrote that the goal of education is to restore inman the image of his Maker (Education, pp. 14–16).How can education achieve such a remarkable goal?First, we need to remember that God made us to have a relationshipwith Him, somewhat as parents do with their children. He made us in Hisimage, the same way human parents have children in their image (Gen.5:1), so that He can bring us up to be His children, who belong to Hisfamily; He can communicate with us and form a lasting relationship withus. The image of God therefore is more of a “mental image” that enablestwo beings, one divine and the other human, to have a meeting of minds.This is precisely what happens in education, first at home between par-ents and children and later at school when teachers take over the work ofeducation. Evidently God intended this process of education we know sowell when, distinguishing us from many other life forms, He made us inHis own image—He did it so that He can teach us and we can learn fromHim, until His image (His mind) is reflected in ours.The story of Redemption is a story of education from Creationto Incarnation, and from Incarnation to re-creation. God is ateacher, and heaven is a school for all time (see Ellen G. White,Education, p. 301). What are the implications of this thought forour commitment to Christian education at home, in church, inschool, in the university, and throughout life?

EdgeMakers and STEM Learning Lab merged in March of 2019, paving the way to provide the curriculum and professional development that empower K-12 educators to deliver the authoritative, integrated approach to teaching the disciplines of the 21st century. The new company known as EdgeMakers combines STEM Learning Lab’s education and professional development programs, which are unmatched in their ability to teach students the essential “hard skills” needed for 21st century success, with EdgeMakers’ groundbreaking innovative thinking curriculum, which helps learners apply their skills toward a true purpose to effect meaningful change. The company also offers programs in Maker & STEAM, Robotics & AI Programming, Engineering Design & 3D Printing, Coding & Computational Thinking and Circuitry & Hardware Programming. EdgeMakers brings together the work of John Kao and Gina Cherkowski, leading thinkers in innovation and STEM, to create something truly unique in the education marketplace. Dr. John Kao has spent the better part of 30 years creating compelling learning experiences for emerging innovators and entrepreneurs. His eclectic career mirrors the complexity of innovation and entrepreneurship. He was a professor at Harvard Business School, and he taught at the MIT Media Lab and Stanford’s Bowman House. He was an advisor to countries on innovation policy and is a serial entrepreneur. He also is the best-selling author of books about innovation, a Tony award-winning producer of stage and screen, Yamaha Music’s first “artist in innovation” and a Yale Medical School trained psychiatrist. Each experience has enriched his pedagogical approach. Dubbed “Mr. Creativity” and a “serial innovator” by The Economist, John Kao is a renaissance man and self-styled “innovation activist” whose creativity forms the DNA of EdgeMakers. Dr. Gina Cherkowski is an educational game changer on a mission to ensure all students have access to high-quality STEM learning experiences so they are aptly prepared for our technology-driven, dynamic world. She holds a PhD in Mathematics Education as well as in Culture Studies in Education. She has extensive experience in teaching and learning as a remediation specialist, a classroom teacher, and as a university professor for both undergraduate and graduate courses in education both in Canada and internationally. As a social justice math educator and learning activist, Gina believes that all kids can and should be proficient in math as well as the other STEM fields and fights to make this a reality. Her current research explores teaching math conceptually using spatial-temporal reasoning to facilitate a deep understanding of mathematics for diverse learners. Another area of interest is the development of visual-spatial skills through interaction in highly engaging, hands-on STEM and STEAM projects like coding, robotics and Maker Education.

This episode is about Maker Education, but also about the high stakes of designing high quality professional experiences for educators. There are still too many professional experiences meant to hone craft, build skills, and excite that are way too dull.Manhattan Make-A-Thon is something different. And for that, it deserves a lot of credit. Earlier in the year, Lori Stahl Van-Brackle, Director of Instructional Technology for the Manhattan Field Support Center at the NYC DOE, challenged 20 schools in a special cohort to design maker-driven learning experiences that they would test with young people at school, and then lead experiential training at the make-a-thon: rooms upon rooms full of educators sewing, hammering, hot-glueing away while they discuss pedagogy alongside their peers. Many of them brought students, too. Which, where it worked, was an exciting glimpse at what it looks like when learning isn't something bestowed upon us, but is constructed through experience and interaction, and can most certainly be shared at the same time between teacher and student.My thanks to the talented team who made it possible. The following is a series of interviews with participants as the day unfolded.SPECIAL THANKS TO:Casey, Kenya, Carol, Mr. Deepak KapoorAmanda Solarsh, and Caitlyn from MS 104PS 191 in ManhattanAmy Sachs from Roberto Clemente, PS 15Jessica Wenke from Teqand David Wells from NYSCI See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rodrigo Rodrigues da Silva, Gilberto Vieira, Gabriela Agustini, Miguel Chaves For a few years now, schools and other learning environments around the world have been implementing maker spaces, hacker spaces and other co-creation spaces as novel learning environments. Project-based and student-centered learning are some of the methodologies with particular interest in children and young adults education that emerge almost naturally from those spaces. This session aims at sharing experiences, challenges and lessons learned from implementing non-traditional subjects in creative learning spaces in schools, alongside the perspective from less formal learning spaces as a counterpart. We will be asking and answering questions like: How can we bring those practices to contexts with limited financial and material resources? How can we empower local educators to bring those practices to their communities or develop their own student centered and project based learning environments? How can we make those learning environments more diverse and inclusive? How does maker education intersect with cultural innovative practices such as "gambiarra" in Brazil, "hacking" in North America and Europe and "jugaad" in India and Pakistan? The panelists come from similar backgrounds in maker education but work on different fields and contexts, therefore bringing diverse perspectives on the topic, ranging from private schools to public institutions and cultural centers.After attending this panel, educators, innovators and policy makers will have a broader understanding on the adoption of maker practices in the education field.

If you don't believe that social consciousness starts early in human development, you'll assume Armando and Lynda--middle schoolers in Manhattan--are paid actors. But they're not, and in this episode they describe some of the projects that their teacher, Dr. Lou Lahana, supports with help from a holistic Community Schools approach at the Lower East Side's Island School in Manhattan. Guest Steve Heath joins the group from Rhode Island's Fab Newport, and together the group explores the highs and lows of Maker Education. This is a great episode for those working to glean the essence and values of Maker Ed, or to join veteran educators as they riff on the thornier details.If you like this episode, subscribe to No Such Thing on iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play.

After decades of experience in the NYC public school system, these three educators are hopeful that "Maker Education," the field's instantiation of the popular tinker movement re-constituted by the commercial Make Magazine and Maker Faire, holds promise for reforming aspects of how we teach and learn. Dr. Lou Lahana, Lori Stahl-VanBrackle, and Iliana Villegas don't agree on every aspect of the present or future of Maker Ed, but together with thousands of educators nationally, are writing the playbook as they go. This conversation unpacks the specifics issues that educators face when working to infuse the values and methodology into their schools. The group cite examples of multi-disciplinary project work, and dig into the spaces where they happen.If you like this episode, subscribe to No Such Thing on iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play.

Maker education has the potential to empower all individuals to think critically about complex systems and encourage them to be active participants in building and shaping the future they want.  In this episode, we are joined by Charles Sutton, a librarian and aspiring public intellectual. Through his professional and personal work, he is committed to developing human agency and structural change where needed. His interests include early and emergent literacy, critical making, and maker education/empowerment. Charles is a thinker and a tinkerer. The following quote from Ralph Ellison’s  Invisible Man sums it up best:  “Call me, since I have a theory and a concept, a “thinker-tinker.”  In 2015, Charles spoke at TEDx Evansville on the topic "Maker Education: Empowering individuals to make a better world."  He discusses how he transformed his home into an urban ecological experiment – implementing workable alternatives to current practices that threaten our water, energy and food security.  Can makers of all stripes facilitate healing and restoration of urban communities?  Can they - we, because we all can make something - help to ameliorate the deep-seated wounds to communities caused by racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, economic disinvestment, etc.?  We will talk about this and much more in this episode.  Please join us!
