The 10 project guides below offer vibrant snapshots of maker-centered learning in a formal K-12 school setting. Made by the Creativity Lab at Lighthouse Community Charter Schools in Oakland, CA in collaboration with Maker Ed and Maker Promise, these guides introduce 10 engaging, cross-curricular, and hands-on activity ideas along with tips and strategies for implementing and adapting them across different contexts.
Each guide:
- Articulates specific learning targets for projects and activities that are widely applicable across grade levels and content areas
- Offers tips, tricks, and best practices for managing an array of lo-tech prototyping tools and materials
Includes examples of additional extensions and applications
Many thanks to the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation for supporting the production of these project guides.
