Episode 11: Maker Ed in NYC Schools

After decades of experience in the NYC public school system,
these three educators are hopeful that "Maker Education," the
field's instantiation of the popular tinker movement
re-constituted by the commercial Make Magazine and Maker Faire,
holds promise for reforming aspects of how we teach and learn.
Dr. Lou Lahana, Lori Stahl-VanBrackle, and Iliana Villegas don't
agree on every aspect of the present or future of Maker Ed, but
together with thousands of educators nationally, are writing the
playbook as they go. This conversation unpacks the specifics
issues that educators face when working to infuse the values and
methodology into their schools. The group cite examples of
multi-disciplinary project work, and dig into the spaces where
they happen.
