Designing Maker Learning @ Home Projects

This guide is broken into three parts: Design, Implement and Iterate, and Reflect. Within each section you will find:

  • Objectives: What you will aim to accomplish in this section.
  • Opportunities: The value add of engaging in these steps to design your project.
  • Actions: An outline of steps to take as you design your own project.
  • Designing for your context: Guiding questions to support designing for your context and learning at home.
  • Stories: Short examples from Maker Learning @ Home cohort members who designed their own projects for making at home.
