KEYNOTE: The Future We Make: Dale Dougherty - President of Make:Community
Making is fundamental to being human. Using our hands and minds to make tools is something humans have done for millions of years. New research in neuroscience connects making with cognitive development and the emergence of language in humans. It also reminds us that for as long as we've been making tools, we have been a community of learners and teachers sharing technical knowledge and showing each other how to do things. The rise of the maker movement coincides with the Internet providing new digital ways of teaching and learning, which encourages sharing on a global scale. Yet this movement is also made up of stories, the very personal journeys for makers who discover their unique gifts and talents as learners and teachers.
