SHOW SUMMARY:
Makerspaces! They are popping up in schools, libraries, and beyond. Maybe you even have one in your classroom (I do!). But are makerspaces just a teaching fad or is it an effective tool for teaching STEM? Listen to our discussion about their definition, purpose, design, and more as we weigh in on this popular trend!

Would you like us to discuss other possible teaching fads? Leave us a comment below on a teaching trend you are skeptical of and we will keep this series going!
