Description
In this presentation we discuss some of the organizational, logistical and pedagogical challenges to building a diverse, inclusive, and critically-oriented maker-space. We describe how we’ve sustained and expanded the impact of our maker space through a focus on student workers as peer teachers and learners, micro-grant fellowships, and the prototyping of a portfolio and badging directory of skills gained at the studio.
