Multiple Models of Making ICE2019
This document discusses multiple models for integrating maker education in schools: the open making model, project-based model, and curriculum-embedded model. The open making model allows student-directed exploration using a dedicated space and materials. The project-based model involves completing teacher-directed projects or challenges. The curriculum-embedded model uses making to help students express understanding of academic content. The document encourages combining these approaches and notes that making does not need to be limited to a single makerspace area. It provides tips on organization, procedures, and emphasizing the learning process over final products.

Editor's Notes
- #5 Smart isn’t always measured by tests. The same thing applies for standardized test. I want to assume good intent, but I was never ever given any sort of assessment that gauged my ability to visualize solutions to a problem. I love hacking things. Like when my husbands glasses broke last week, I got a toothpick and some picture wire and fixed it. Sometimes I even go as far as to get a little angry. I have lots of fun building computers and playing with Raspberry Pis and since I live relatively close to the area I grow up in, I sometimes get comments like “I had no idea you were that smart”. And I guess I didn’t see that as being smart because that was not measured. Rant over. You hear stories of kid inventors like Super Awesome Sylvia and Caines arcade. And I love those videos, but both of those kids are making as an “outside” thing. As a “hobby” and not connected with school. STUDENT CURIOSITY SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED BY CURRICULUM MAPS OR PACING GUIDES I know some of you came here today to figure out how to work in a makerspace in your alright jam packed curriculum. And I understand that there are standards to meet and common assessments to give, but whether we look at it this way or not, but these curriculum maps can actually limit our students. For example, let’s say you introduce circuits in 5th grade science. They kids learn about a circuit, how it works, why it doesn’t work, all the places we find circuits, etc.. But the student gets interested and wants to see if he can light up multiple things with one power source. Well that’s different than the simple circuits he/she just learned about. Unless the kid has access to his own materials, that question just sort of fizzles away. But what if that kid had a place to get that question answered because HE wanted it answered. Not because a teacher or a homework assignment told him he needed to answer it.
