About the Event: Maker Spaces and Making in K12 schools and CTE settings and in communities, and technologies that support students in being makers, provide the opportunity to apply learning of academic content and to practicing career skills, while solving authentic problems through hands-on and often collaborative real-word experiences.

The showcase will convene the developers, government representatives, and industry partners in the field of making, to discuss innovative models and approaches that are building capacity for “maker education” as a mainstream learning activity in schools and communities, especially in underserved areas.

The showcase will also include a demo session where attendees and local teachers and students will be able to demo a series of maker technologies and projects that were developed with the support of government programs while meeting the developers.
