This informative session will provide practical tips on how to make your makerspace, and professional practice, more equitable.
The Making Spaces project team has produced two key resources for the makerspace and informal STEM education sector, which they will talk through during the seminar: a guidebook ‘Towards equitable makerspaces: A guide to the 3-STEP approach’ and an accompanying online interactive professional development course.
This online event will be particularly useful for makerspace practitioners, informal STEM learning, STEM education researchers and those interested in the STEM sector or equity in education.
