Grading finals for UMASS Makerspace in Education course.
This student quote was very powerful, “To reflect, I’ve gained valuable knowledge of the makerspace community and the openness it has for students from all walks of life. I wished I was a part of a makerspace sooner so that this wasn’t my first time being exposed to these valuable lessons but when I look at it, the world itself is its own makerspace. I just never thought that far. This course shifted my perception on education and life in a positive way. As students we grow up being told what we should be or what it we should do once we graduate. You rarely hear that you should probably just create whatever it is you dreamed of and do that your whole life.”
