Making as Learning, Benzonia
Looking to add open-ended, hands-on learning to your school, library, community center, troop, or civic group? The maker movement offers youth the opportunity to explore the intersection of STEM, technology, design, aesthetics, creativity, and prototyping. In this workshop, you'll become immersed in exploring the facets of the maker movement. Over the course of three days, you will meet fellow maker mentors, examine multiple possible entry points for developing or refining your maker program, identify pathways for discovering maker and community needs, design and explore possible programming ideas for formal and informal learning, and grapple with how to mesh together open-endedness with fair assessment of work. You'll engage in a variety of hands-on activities, from creating with recycled materials to 3D printing and modeling, robots to digital stencils, so you can test out multiple materials and tools to see which fit your community best. You'll come away with concrete ideas you can use to build or enhance making in your community. Unique to this location will be an interactive field trip to Grow Benzie for hands-on activities including wool spinning, sewing, garage tinkering, and seed experiments. SCECHs available; lunch is on your own at local restaurants, or take advantage of the Grow Benzie food truck, which will be onsite all three days! Sponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information's Making in Michigan Libraries Project in collaboration with the Benzonia Public Library. Funding made possible in part by Institute for Museum and Library Services RE-05-15-0021-15.
