Creativity Through "Maker" Experiences and Design Thinking in the Education of Librarians

May 1, 2014 | Public Programs, Informal/Formal Connections

The article presents the makerspaces in libraries where informal, collaborative learning can occur through hands-on creation using any combination of technology, industrial arts and fine arts not readily available for home use. It cites the underlying goal of a makerspace to encourage innovation and creativity via the use of technology and offer a place where everything can be nurtured. It notes a growing interest in design thinking afforded by makerspaces.
