In this episode (Part 2/3 of the Makerspace Trilogy) China Jeducation interviews Mr Adam Domenico, who over the past few years has designed, created and implemented a dedicated and highly successful Makerspace at Quality Schools International (QSI), Zhuhai, China.
They discuss the 3 distinct Makerspace phases, multiple Makerspace strategies including detailed working examples, challenges he faced in its set-up, implementation and development, managing the Makerspace and rolling it out to all teachers and student age groups. Focusing as always on international teaching, expat teachers and all things education related!
Makerspace is a constructivist and constructionist movement that is taking the world by storm! Imagine DIY meets education! A Makerspace presents readily-available materials that can act as a provocation for inquiry, as well as modern technology and items to invent with.
Makerspace is closely associated with STEM or STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) education, and is an approach to problem-based and project-based learning that relies upon hands-on, often collaborative, learning experiences as a method for solving authentic problems.
