Makerspaces in schools are dynamic spaces that embrace creativity and innovation and where students can engage in hands-on, collaborative learning experiences. An array of tools, materials, activity kits and technologies, ranging from no tech, low tech and high tech can support student learning. Within a Makerspace, students are empowered to explore their interests, design and build projects, and develop essential 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, communication and collaboration. By fostering a culture of experimentation and iterative design, Makerspaces encourage students to embrace failure as a learning opportunity and cultivate a growth mindset. A Makerspace can help transform learning into an active, engaging process that prepares students to become resourceful and innovative thinkers.
