The Maker Movement is an extension of the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) movement inspired by the democratization of manufacturing practices and tools in the early to mid-2000’s. Instead of relying on commercial manufacturers, who only catered to large corporations, Makers use tools like the 3D printer and even drone technology, to take creation and production into their own hands. In this way, new technologies have created a level playing field between corporations and individual creatives, a fact that Makers use to their full advantage.

"This is my 20th year in education but my second year back in the classroom, teaching STEM full-time to 610 4th and 5th graders at Independence Elementary in Yukon, Oklahoma. Our STEM program is very unique, since it's in the "specials "rotation for all students that also includes PE, Music and Art. This is the 4th year of the STEM program in Yukon Public Schools. As we're about to wind down our school year, I thought it would be good to reflect and share about the reasons I love teaching elementary STEM in YPS. If you want to learn more, come to STEMseeds PD Camp June 2-4, 2015!"
The Maker Movement and the Classroom | Edudemic - 0 views

"The Maker Movement is a new trend based on old school traditions in which the philosophy of doing, building, and creating prevails over just simply buying. Instead of going to the toy store, people are learning how to design and 3D print their own toys. Instead of shopping for furniture, people are going to local community workshops like TechShop and building their own custom chairs and tables. The Maker Mentality creates a powerful paradigm shift by eliminating the separation between consumer and producer. By looking at the benefits and upsides of the Maker Movement and analyzing why it has reemerged, we can use it productively in the classroom by intertwining these new techniques with the classic methods such as lecture, reading, and so on."

This site is organized by what you want to create (purpose), who you are creating for (audience), and how you are going to create it (tools). We highly recommend that you visit the pages in that order - purpose, audience and then tools, particularly the first time you visit here. Keep in mind that creativity doesn't always fit in nice, neat categories, so if you don't find what you're looking for in a particular category, browse through some others and see if you find what you need.

This animate was adapted from a talk given at the RSA by Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient of the RSA's Benjamin Franklin award.For more information on Sir Ken's work visit: http://www.sirkenrobinson.com

This is an amazing illustration of Sir Kenneth Robinson's presentation on schooling in the 21st century. It's fascinating to watch an illustrator create a visual map of Robinson's ideas as they are spoken. The content of the presentation is enormously important to any educator struggling to change the system. It's even more important to those who've been subdued and mislead by old ideas into thinking they can't learn or create.
