  • I’m uncomfortable with any culture that encourages you take on an entire identity, rather than to express a facet of your own identity ("maker," rather than "someone who makes things").
  • There’s a widespread idea that “People who make things are simply different [read: better] than those who don’t.”
  • Making things is incredibly important, especially for groups that previously haven’t had access.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The problem is the idea that the alternative to making is usually not doing nothing
  • what I do (teaching) for what I’m actually trying to help elicit (learning)
  • Or, worse, if you say that I "make" other people, you are diminishing their agency and role in sense-making, as if their learning is something I do to them.
  • there's still this stigma that feels like it attaches to those-who-don’t-make
  • Rather, I want to see us recognize the work of the educators, those that analyze and characterize and critique, everyone who fixes things, all the other people who do valuable work with and for others—above all, the caregivers—whose work isn’t about something you can put in a box and sell.

    Amazing, thought provoking article engineering professor Debbie Chachra on why we need to be cautious about insisting on people identifiying themselves by what they make.  While I don't necessarily agree that encouraging people to make things devalues education and caregiving, it is a valid criticism to think about.
