Overview

This engaging 2.5-hour session will invite participants to explore different approaches to the implementation of Makers and STEAM spaces. Participants will learn how individual schools have designed, resourced, and utilized these innovative learning spaces.

Whether you are a school that already has such a space, or you have one that needs rethinking, you won’t want to miss this essential professional learning and leadership opportunity. 

Maker and/or STEAM spaces are becoming essential parts of a school’s learning environment.  However, as this is a rapidly evolving area, there are no “blueprints.” For every successful space in a school, there is another that is not being leveraged to its full potential. 

This symposium will prompt thinking and provide ideas to support school-based decisions around their Maker and STEAM spaces.
