  • Dr. Guilford’s question: “How are you going to design something if you’ve never built anything?”
  • How are you going to build something if you’ve never taken something apart?
  • How are you going to come up with interesting ideas and solutions if you’ve never been allowed to play with physical and digital bits and pieces?

  • It takes a playful, curious person to take things apart and imagine new ways to put the parts back together.
  • Youthful creativity combined with readily available materials often leads to a whirlwind of wonderful things.
  • Amon Milner, a maker/educator, what a “maker” was, he replied that “[all] people are makers. And the conditions in which people can grow up and have that supported and still do it into adulthood is a very special person… Every [child] is a maker and some get to stay that way longer.”
