Educational Technology Lead & Instructor from Grey&Ivy presented a maker workshop at the University of British Columbia Master of Educational Technology Program (MET) Inclusive Makerspace Conference. This slideshare from the workshop details how it was set up to transform participants into makers and designers as they collaborated to develop low-tech tools/systems to support learning and identify the benefits of working in a social, makerspace environment. An assortment of simple materials (i.e. construction paper, popsicle sticks) and tools (i.e. scissors, glue) was used. Includes design process chart and photographs.
