This document discusses the role of makerspaces in education. It argues that makerspaces are not traditional classrooms but instead show learning through making, which is collaborative, personal, and empowering for students. Makerspaces support learner-centric education by allowing students to think, dream, make, and do through hands-on projects rather than just receiving information.
