Maker Projects in K-12

When we use Maker projects to teach our students, we're not just teaching them “how to make” one particular product. Our real goal is to give everyone in our classroom the access to tools and skills that unleash their creative potential. K-12 teachers can use Maker projects to engage students in creative problem-solving, empowering kids with social and STEM skills, while delivering academic content in any subject.

Below are just a few real-life examples of Maker Projects that K-12 teachers have designed and modified for use in their own core classrooms.
