Abstract
The influence and reach of maker education continues to grow, bringing new
possibilities for hands-on, student-centered, design-oriented, and/or transformational learning to more people in more spaces. Maker education has also more recently attended to issues of justice, equity, and culture. What does the future of maker education hold? What materials and practices will these spaces offer next? What support do teachers need to enact pedagogically sound and culturally relevant learning? How will developing technologies respond to teachers’ and learners’ needs for accessibility and sustainability? How will maker-based learning be
documented and assessed? To answer these and other questions, we propose convening a panel on the Future of Maker Education to both solicit panelists’ ideas on the future of maker education and foster audience discussion around these issues.
