Tinker Tailor Solder Ply: Why Makers Rule in EDU Panel

Wednesday, March 6 2013
10:30AM – 11:30AM
Austin Convention Center Ballroom G

Panel description:
“Learning by doing.” Sure, it may be a tired cliche in education theories. But in reality, it can be more fun and engaging than, say, sitting in a classroom. Whether it involves taking apart a hairdryer or programming light-up LED shoes, hands-on education is one way to equip today’s students with the know-how and skills to remain competitive–and creative–in the 21st century workforce. Hear how Makers are helping kids unlock their creativity while applying their STEM know-hows–and in so doing shape how we rethink the value and purpose of an education.
