“Maker Education”
The HEdWorks Project is a flagship Maker Education initiative based at LJMU that seeks to bring makers and educators together.
At its heart Maker Education (or MakerEd for short) is hands-on, project-driven, self-directed learning with an emphasis on learning by experimenting, using resurces and tools (laser cutters, 3D printers, digital routers, Arduinos, Raspberry Pis etc) in a space where students and pupls can be taght the basics of 3D printing, garment / wearbales design, coding. app development, materials, electronics, soldering etc., and thereafter…learn by doing.
