Introduction
Maker culture and digital fabrication technologies such as 3D printers, open source hardware, and open source software offer opportunities for new approaches to learning. The National Science Foundation notes that a ‘Maker approach encourages people to understand how things work, to experiment, invent and redesign things through multiple iterations, to democratize and understand processes of engineering, science, and innovation.’ This track welcomes submissions that illustrate ways in which Maker Spaces and 3D technologies can facilitate new approaches to learning.
