In 2021, six educators representing community based organizations, libraries, public schools and the Digital Promise Maker Learning team embarked on a journey to increase opportunities for virtual and remote maker learning. While this experience is unique and specific to our context at the time, we believe that the insights, learnings, and considerations are valuable to all who wish to engage learners in powerful maker learning experiences.
We want to take the time to express our deepest gratitude and celebrate the following cohort members for supporting and contributing to the design of this toolkit:
