This course is a combination of self-paced asynchronous learning with instructions and design challenges to practice awesome projects to replicate with your students. The Maker projects can be done with simple craft like materials you have in your home or we can supply you with a Maker Kit of all of the materials you need. You will also receive a Project Planner, Design Brief, and Learning Journal to use to plan your Maker Ed project for your students. The ultimate goal is for you to become comfortable, confident and prepared to teach Maker Ed or STEM projects. You will gain a solid strategy and process to plan Maker Ed lessons.
