Abstract

One of the priorities of 21st century skills development involves boosting creativity in education. That is because creativity is considered essential to the rapidly evolving digital society employment landscape alongside entrepreneurship, critical thinking, collaboration skills and computational fluency. In this paper we present our pilot tests using digital fabrication and making within a hands-on pedagogical frame and the result in creative outcomes for STEAM learning. Within the proposed approach, students engage in tasks using a craft- and project-based pedagogy to develop lessons from their school curriculum. This paper illustrates how creativity is fostered by this approach during pilot trial experiences at a local junior high school.
