The maker movement in libraries and education

The maker movement—a community of people who tinker, create, and share projects that are personally meaningful and potentially contribute to a community—is increasingly prevalent in contemporary libraries, schools, museums, community centers, and more. Makerspaces offer people an opportunity to access technologies, interact with mentors and peers, and engage in creative projects. This talk will present an overview of the maker movement, the social role of library makerspaces, making as a learning approach, and inclusive and equitable making.

This event is open to all.  Meeting ID: 915 5474 8598    Password: IS400FALL2
