Who Are You Making For?
World Maker Faire 2015
May 18th-1st
Many makers and educators get excited about hands-on learning in the classroom, but struggle with what to make. In this talk, I'll share a few stories of makers whose work has inspired me in and out of the classroom, and discuss how their stories and motivations led to the things they've made.
