Principles of Design: Not Another Makerspace Talk
Educators need to look for ways to prepare students for the "real world" – so why not allow the real world to serve as inspiration for school and classroom design? All schools can – and should – look beyond traditional classrooms (and makerspaces) to better facilitate learning.
This panel will explore successful ways to create an educational environment that fosters learning across every situation, subject, and grade, as well tips on overcoming challenges of the design process.
