Making
Instructed by: MakerBay
“Maker culture emphasizes informal, networked, peer-led, and shared learning motivated by fun and self-fulfillment…Maker culture encourages novel applications of technologies…it has attracted the interest of educators concerned about students’ disengagement from STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) in formal educational settings. Maker culture is seen as having the potential to contribute to a more participatory approach and create new pathways into topics that will make them more alive and relevant to learners.” (Wikipedia)
It so happened that the leader in Hong Kong Maker Movement, MakerBay, is located nearby, and they have already started working with Harbour School, a local international primary school to develop learning through making. With their passion and experience, they are the best candidate we can find in town to help lead learning by making and engage in teachers’ training in this area. This also echos with EDB’s education promotion. In our case, we add in dimensions like food and fashion making, which are two areas that the school consultant, Masa Leung, is expert in.
