Episode 17: Maker Education Might Make Us Cry (Both Ways)

If you don't believe that social consciousness starts early in
human development, you'll assume Armando and Lynda--middle
schoolers in Manhattan--are paid actors. But they're not, and in
this episode they describe some of the projects that their
teacher, Dr. Lou Lahana, supports with help from a holistic
Community Schools approach at the Lower East Side's Island School
in Manhattan. Guest Steve Heath joins the group from Rhode
Island's Fab Newport, and together the group explores the highs
and lows of Maker Education. This is a great episode for those
working to glean the essence and values of Maker Ed, or to join
veteran educators as they riff on the thornier details.
