The Educational Technology Council hosted a conference entitled Alberta Teachers’ Maker Space on Sept. 29 at Barnett House in Edmonton. Participants learned about the Makerspaces movement in education and learned how K-12 schools, teachers and students are creating and designing interactive and hands-on learning experiences through cross curricular competency/project-based approaches. Attendees applied their knowledge of design thinking and developed a prototype through a design challenge. At the end of the session, participants marvelled at each other’s creations, which were on display.
