Description
Makers, Crafters, Educators Working for Cultural Change brings together DIY ethos and maker culture into educational environments to explore cultural change. This collection examines making's role in education, focusing on community, schooling practices, culture, and place. The book presents five sections, each addressing a different aspect of making in education: object making, participatory culture, and socio-cultural transformation. It offers insights from around the world, showcasing how maker spaces can drive socio-cultural change through community sites. By exploring the intersection of making, culture, and education, this edited collection reveals the potential for maker culture to transform schooling practices and promote cultural sustainability.
