Building a Maker Mindset
Makerspaces are a great way to help your students become creative problem-solvers and critical thinkers. If you don’t have a makerspace in your district, it’s still possible to bring the benefits of makerspaces into your classroom - by creating activities that encourage your students to develop a maker mindset.
Why This Badge?
Teaching students to use design thinking skills to address authentic problems and challenges helps them build empathy, think creatively, and learn to refine their ideas. By adding in the ability to get hands-on and create, students' engagement and learning is even deeper!
