Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic raised awareness of the need for expanding the vision of how we can support collaboration across distributed communities of making educators and learners. However, this raises critical questions surrounding how we support these learners to authentically engage with the practices, mentorship, skill acquisition, and social interactions that sit at the heart of effective maker education initiatives. To this end, this symposium brings together experts in collaborative making at a distance to highlight the many innovations being developed to support making when co-location may not be an option. Participants in this symposium will get a chance to engage with presenters around their designs, with several of the approaches being available for use with remote participants to better explore their potential.
