ABSTRACT
This study shares the story of a design challenge a semester-long maker project where students dedicated themselves to team-based learning, ideating, and prototyping tangible solutions for wicked problems in technical writing and communication.

Making a Makerspace: Designing User Services to Serve Designing Users
SIGUCCS '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM SIGUCCS Annual ConferenceAs higher education institutions set up and run makerspaces, important choices and challenges arise in deciding how to approach the planning and design of both the spaces and the services to be offered [1,2]. This paper looks at the experience of ...
Work in progress: Making Room: Creating design spaces for design practice
FIE '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE)This work investigates affordances of co-working, collaboratory spaces in support of engineering design student design teams. A framework for establishing such spaces is presented adapting a set of design axioms: design is a social activity, preserve ...
Computational Thinking in the Making: Lessons for Second Graders in a STEM Computer Science Immersion School
SIGCSE '19: Proceedings of the 50th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationRecently, there has been significant interest in integrating Maker-related experiences into formal education. A challenge is reconciling open-ended making and non-deterministic learning goals with standards that drive traditional education. In the ...
