This document discusses the benefits of making and makerspaces for students, teachers, and principals. It defines making as using tools and technical skills, self-direction, design skills, and collaboration to create or fix things. Makerspaces provide resources like 3D printers that allow students to become makers and creators, rather than just consumers, helping them develop skills and find satisfaction in building projects. The rapid pace of technological change also makes maker skills increasingly important for adapting to new developments.

- It’s not about 3D printers, laser cutters and other high tech tools. It’s about student engagement, constructionism, and active learning. It’s about increasing student agency. At it’s core, bringing making into schools is about providing opportunities for students to engage in critical thinking, problem-solving, design thinking, mathematical thinking.
- The maker movement in schools is supported by foundational research and practice by early pioneers such as Dewey, Papert, Montessori, and Piaget. In other words, the underlying pedagogies and learning research apply perfectly to making and fabrication. In addition, other research and practice such as Design Thinking and Adaptive Expertise are interwoven into the learning by making processes.
