Vinyl, Your Way
Vinyl is an invaluable material for giving learners experience with the fabrication process - both digital and physical. There is tool use and technique, digital design skills that can go from beginner to much more advanced levels, a wide variety of color choices for customization and personalization, and the overall joy one feels when the put a sticker they made on something! More importantly, vinyl is a great way to get a lot of laps with tinkering and iteration - meaning, its a great way to learn. This workshop will give participants a chance to "learn by doing” through the creation of a scaffolded set vinyl sticker projects, but will also have a heavy emphasize the maker-centered learning practices and constructivist pedagogies necessary to make creating with vinyl - or any material for that matter - a success in their own classrooms.

- From Twitter Exchange https://twitter.com/JimTiffinJr/status/968972279525801985 Build permits serve three main purposes. 1) They help #elemaker students take the ideas out of their head and get them into a tinkerable planning form - which is often should be backwards in nature 2) They help me know how to support their ideas and plans by giving me a glimpse into that thinking, which in turn allows me to help hone their thinking processes 3) It creates agency in an #elemaker because they themselves identify when their project is done, not me. Every build permit asks them "How will you know you are done?", and when they come to me to ask "Am I done?" I turn it right around.
