ABOUT THE EVENT

MakerMeet use the Constructionist approach to learning as set out by Seymour Papert and this underpins the student-centred, discovery-led S.T.E.A.M. workshops that they provide to the education, enterprise and private sectors. Chris loves cats, kayaking, kite-flying, steampunk, pedantic semantics and knowing the meanings of ligatures, aglets, gallibanders and lexiphanic. It is often said he is terribly modest (but not by him).

Talk: Making A Maker

ABOUT ASSESSMAKE 21 PROJECT

The goal of the ASSESSMAKE 21 project is to provide, pilot, and validate novel assessment methods and tools for the assessment of 21st century skills. The assessment solutions will be piloted in different learning contexts, with a focus on makerspaces. The project partnership will create learning environments that enable students to act as makers using a wide variety of physical and digital tools. This will be facilitated through hands-on experiences that emphasise collaboration and creativity following inquiry-based approaches instead of direct instruction of facts and formulas. Teachers and educators will receive training in this approach and will be highly involved in planning and implementing the activities.

Finally, the project will report findings and conclusions from implementations and assessments that will take place in 5 schools and 4 non-formal maker spaces in Ireland, Sweden, Greece, and Cyprus.
