Digital Smarts - Makerspaces Lure Kids Away From Tablets and Game Consoles

You are here

In an effort to bring back creative thinking and problem solving into the lives of young students, makerspaces are cropping up all over the United States. A blend of old shop classes and new technology, the maker movement hopes to bring hands-on exploration back into schools and simultaneously inspire kids to tinker on their own by luring them away from more passive technology. Interested in finding a makerspace near you where your kids can explore their world in a hands-on fashion, or starting your own space? Visit makerspace.com.
