SXSW EDU 2020
Multi-Generation STEM Makerspaces
Description:
A makerspace is an ideal setting for youth and parents to connect to learning and build the skills and networks that will reconnect them to school and work. CAST, the pioneers of Universal Design for Learning, is working together with South Street Youth Center to co-design an inaugural program which locates makerspace communities in affordable housing and community centers to build peer-to-peer support and create opportunities for discovery, creativity, innovation, and STEM-focused futures.
