Transforming Public Education with Making and Digital Fabrication White Paper
Project white paper: Blikstein, P., Jones-Davis, D., Pryor-Jones, S., Santoso, S., Cornforth, K., Weisgrau, J. & Lassiter, S. “Transforming public education with making and digital fabrication.” Field Building Collaborative, December 2021.
One of the best opportunities we have to offer project-based, culturally relevant, and justice-oriented educational experiences for children and youth at scale can be found in maker and digital fabrication education.More than a passing educational trend, it has the potential to be a foundational component of 21st-century education—both in the United States and beyond. Please share this paper with your school district leadership, parent association and state and local government representatives!
