Designing Purposeful Making Experiences is a two-day professional development workshop for educators who are looking to use maker-centered learning in more purposeful ways. It is intended for educators who attended our intro Designing Making Experiences workshop or those who have experience as a maker-educator.

In the intro Designing Making Experiences workshop, we looked at how we can integrate making into our practice and focused on designing and prototyping a piece of curriculum for our own learning spaces.

Our challenge for this workshop is: “To what end” are students engaging in making?

More specifically, how do we design maker-centered experiences which ...

  • … have a positive impact on learners’ lives and/or their communities?
  • … support students towards deeper conceptual understanding?
  • … stretch learners’ perceptions of themselves and/or build their persistence?
  • … support students in developing their sensitivity to the designed world?
  • … support students in deeply empathizing with others?

Envision

We will spend time, both as a group and individually, discussing and reflecting on what purposeful making projects should look like and feel like. At the same time, we will (re)design a making project to have more meaningful impact on both students and teachers.

Participants will be asked to share examples of their own practice as maker educators and will share the project they develop through a blog post.

Note: Our professional development opportunities are offered free to Oakland Unified and Title 1 teachers. If this applies to you, please email creativitylab@lighthousecharter.org for the promotional code.
