How can we make makers? DIY websites, tinkering, and technical skills are not enough for learners to become creative Makers on their own. The I3 learning approach of Imitation, Iteration, and Improvisation allows learners to develop their sensory experiences to improvise and create, integrating digital fabrication machines into their creative processes.
