More about this course
- On this three-week course, you will delve into the importance of cultivating creative mindsets alongside scientific and engineering disciplines, and learn how makerspaces are an effective way to do this.
- Makerspaces are physical locations that provide hands-on opportunities for students to design, experiment, build, and invent. This course will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to visit makerspaces in your area, or even better, set up one of your own.
- A makerspace can help children and young people develop the types of creative skills that will be vital for future employment and learning.
- You will identify the importance of fostering creativity in children aged 3-15 before exploring the educational, cultural, and social value of makerspaces.
- You will discover how makerspaces have been set up in early years settings, schools, libraries, museums, and community spaces to see the different methods for fostering creative learning environments.
- Guided by the University of Sheffield and experts in creating makerspaces, you will develop ideas for building your own makerspace in your community. You will focus on enhancing digital literacy and promoting creativity to design a makerspace that prepares children for entering work in the fourth industrial revolution.
