Makerspaces.

Catalog description

This course examines makerspaces as locales, which are central to "maker" culture. Students will explore the role of makerspaces in local, national and international communities. Specifically, students will conduct critical analysis of the concepts surrounding the rise of "third spaces" in American society to understand the proliferation of makerspaces throughout the United States. Students will also investigate the integration of makerspaces into schooling and vocational practices as they explore ways that makerspaces function to develop 21st century learning and innovation.
