Makerspace, makerspace, makerspace… Are you a maker? I wish I could pinpoint the beginning of the word makerspace, but makerspaces have been around for hundreds of years. They may look different today, but there is no way this world would be where it is today without past makerspaces to tinker and create. Now, we are using them in our schools and homeschools. I found a makerspace gem in a faraway land.. faraway from myself, that is. All way in India.. a former teacher in America has started makerspaces in so many ways!
Makerspaces in India? Yes, that’s right my friends! Makerspaces, STEM, STEAM, designing with students…. it’s EVERYWHERE! If you haven’t jumped on the train yet….
We have seats to spare!
