Listen "Making Matters"
Episode Synopsis
This event was recorded live at The RSA on Tuesday 4th July 2017
Access to a hands-on approach to learning – designing, creating, exploring, experimenting, ‘tinkering’ - can have transformational impact. So, how can we create more opportunities for more people to learn through making?
To celebrate the long history of collaboration between the RSA and the Comino Foundation, a distinguished panel of designers, makers and educationalists gather to explore the power of making, and to discuss why access to making is important for everyone; how we risk losing the chance for young people to learn through making; and what the RSA, Comino and others are doing to challenge that.
Speakers:
Daniel Charny, Director, From Now On and Fixperts
Liz Corbin, Institute of Making and co-founder of Open Workshop
Zoe Laughlin, Co-founder/director of the Institute of Making and the Materials Library project
Bill Lucas, Co-creator, Expansive Education Network & director, Centre for Real-World Learning
Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, RSA
