Fellows Lead Revolution On-campus
A cohort of Fellows working with the NSF-funded Epicenter
is leading a quiet revolution on campuses across the country.
Fellows are tasked with assessing their campus innovation
ecosystem and proposing a set of strategic actions to expand
opportunities for peers on campus. In doing so, Fellows have
learned that simple innovation spaces with creative programs
and vibrant culture have served as a draw for student makers.
Come hear about strategies to generate excitement for
creating and making on campus, as well as how to tap student
engagement to ensure success.

From Consumer to Creator:
Integrating Making into Existing Curricula
Empower your students to become producers of things,
not just consumers of things, through infusing making into
existing curricula. The ability to make almost anything opens
up enormous possibilities and enables students to conduct
research and create inventions that truly change lives. Join
leaders in maker education for a discussion on how to
effectively embed making into your unique programs and
courses.

Bridging the Gap between Industry Standard
Tools and the Makerspace
In order for students to be prepared to work in industry or
pursue an entrepreneurial career, students need access to
industry standard tools used in professional workplaces. In
the past, the adoption of these tools has been cumbersome
for many reasons including cost and affordability, access
and support availability; however, there are several on-going
initiatives aimed at removing these obstacles that will greatly
benefit makers. Join this panel of visionary leaders from both
industry and academia to discuss how they are breaking down
barriers to help makers gain access to these industry standard
tools.

Eradicating Exclusivity: Engaging Women and
Underrepresented Groups
Currently the maker movement is perceived by many to be
homogenous, a club that does not always seem welcoming
to many women and underrepresented groups. How do we
diversify the makeup of makers? Join leaders from Intel in a
thought-provoking discussion about ways to engage more
women and underrepresented groups in the maker movement.

Promoting Making at the High School Level
and Beyond
What do a jacket, a set of paintings, a wood sculpture, and a
series of photos have to do with a student’s success in life?
Maybe everything. That’s because making these pieces requires
skills for modern learners -- namely, critical thinking, problem
solving, creativity, innovation, and persistence. Integrating making
into the K-12 curriculum is essential, as it allows students to
develop, deepen and master these modern skills before they
graduate. Attend this session to participate in a design-thinking
exercise structured around making at the K-12 level, to hear
about existing K-12 programs centered on design, making
and entrepreneurship and to learn how to connect with higher
education institutions to empower the next generation of makers.

The Maker as Public Artist
How can maker spaces and inventive maker approaches to
technology enhance public art and make it more interactive?
This panel will explore how making can enhance and enliven
contemporary public art and how a history of a do-it-yourself/
make-it-yourself attitude has long been pervasive in American
Culture, promoting movements and subcultures such as
Burning Man, High Desert Test Sites, Fresh Kills Landfill energy
projects, the Grey Area Foundation for the Arts and the
Women’s Environmental Arts Initiatives.

Maker-preneurs 101: How to Support
Student Innovators
Making opens up myriad pathways to students by teaching
them how to ideate, design, create and build. Students must be
supported through the making process and their entrepreneurial
efforts. Want to develop a vibrant collegiate entrepreneurial
ecosystem but not sure how to? Join this panel discussion
and learn how to provide student innovators with hands-on
experiential opportunities such as internships and competitions
and provide students with support structures such as incubators,
accelerators and co-working spaces.

Graduate Students in the Maker Movement
Student. Advisor. Teacher. Researcher. Innovator. Maker.
Graduate students have many responsibilities and, consequently,
wear many hats. Increasingly, more graduate students are
identifying as makers on both the personal and professional level
and are actively involving themselves in the maker movement.
Attend this panel discussion to hear the unique stories of four
graduate students involved in making and learn how to better
support graduate student makers on your campus.

Breakout Sessions IIII
K-12 Outreach and Making
Learning is being transformed by the trends of tinkering, maker
culture and personal fabrication. In order for schools to seize
the opportunities afforded by this “Maker” spirit, educators
need more than awareness that the world is changing.
They need to develop new skills and redesign classroom
environments to support learner-centered practices in order to
prepare kids to solve problems their teachers never anticipated.
Attend this session to learn about the necessity and importance
of making in K-12 curricula and how to connect with local K-12
schools to support high school makers.

are turning their experiences into ventures, a large number of
which are social ventures. Join us for a discussion on social
entrepreneurship in the context of the maker movement and
learn about the role of social enterprise in society, the unique
challenges and opportunities facing social entrepreneurs and
the keys to creating a growing a meaningful social impact
venture.
