“Making Makers”: my talk at Design Week Portland

May 18, 2017

 ()

In April 2016 I gave a talk as part of Design Week Portland, which focused on making and education. In it, I describe how making is an important part of education not because students make things, but because the way we teach making in classrooms fosters motivation and engagement, and I argue that we should extend these pedagogical approaches across the curriculum.
