The concept of Makerspaces is relatively new to me, especially in a secondary school setting. After our class webinar on the aforementioned subject, and after I had time to think about how I could implement it into my own classroom, I began to realize how our district’s Career’s Department implements some of the concepts of Makerspaces into its career projects. The following slideshow will highlight the various career projects, that are run throughout the year, and how they employ a Makerspace style of engagement and learning.
Although the District Career Department’s projects do not follow the concept of Makerspaces in the classroom, in the traditional sense, they do afford many concepts of Makerspaces to each individual in a real-world setting.
