As a longtime enthusiast, what I love most about the movement is that at its heart it’s all about educators teaching and empowering other educators.

As the maker movement continues to expand, more and more educators are asking these questions. One way to address them is by creating opportunities and spaces for educators to come together and share the work they are doing with their students. All Edcamps can receive materials to facilitate a making activity at their event.
