Making in Education Community of practice

Making is transforming education at every level.

When we talk about making in education, we are talking about project-based learning, a teaching method that emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration and self guided inquiry along with standards-based content.  We invite classroom teachers, administrators and others in the field to join our Making in Education Community of Practice (COP) to share information, skills and strategies to encourage project-based learning in schools, libraries or other learning spaces.

Interested in learning more? Contact us Here with any questions.

This program is supported in part by Rockwell Automation.

We’re using Slack to collaborate online! Please email [email protected] for an invitation to collaborate with us – it’s FREE and we want to learn from and with you!
