Makerspaces - A Tool for Youth Engagement
When: October 12th, 9:30am EST
A makerspace is a collaborative workshop that leverages science and technology, along with innovation tools and approaches to spark creativity. For youth, makerspaces often operate as “safe spaces” for those who are not compelled by traditional behavior change activities. However, the Maker Movement can go beyond forming social bonds and developing soft skills. Makerspaces can engage youth in meaningful ways through learning and teaching rapid prototyping techniques and empowering them as leaders in the vast ecosystem of open source hardware and software designs. Learn more about how makerspaces foster movement, innovation and creativity designed and maintained by youth in the YouthPower Youth Engagement Community of Practice Webinar on Wednesday, October 12 at 9:30am EST.
