This event is part of the Teaching Enrichment Series, a series of workshops aimed at providing faculty, instructors, grad instructors, and TAs with practical instructional ideas to put into use in the Fall semester.

Every course in every subject has the potential to include making. But how do you incorporate making into your curriculum in a way that enhances your teaching and your students’ learning? In this workshop, we will discuss how courses across the University are utilizing making in their projects and coursework and how the Libraries can support making in your course. We will also discuss the maker literacies, a useful framework of cross-disciplinary competencies that can help students gain transferable skills and measure their own learning. In the last portion of the workshop, we invite you to look at your own syllabi and map potential making projects that foster problem-solving and creativity, align with Student Learning Objectives, and help you reach your course goals.
