China Jedi Podcast: Expat Life | Chinese Culture | Business | Travel | Language | Teaching Education

In this episode (Part 1/3 of the Makerspace Trilogy) China Jeducation interviews Mr Adam Domenico, who over the past few years has designed, created and implemented a dedicated and highly successful Makerspace at Quality Schools International (QSI), Zhuhai, China.

They discuss the story of Makerspace and the Makerspace Movement, what it actually is and how he got and what he needed to get it started. Focusing as always on international teaching, expat teachers and all things education related!

Makerspace is a constructivist and constructionist movement that is taking the world by storm! Imagine DIY meets education! A Makerspace presents readily-available materials that can act as a provocation for inquiry, as well as modern technology and items to invent with.

Makerspace is closely associated with STEM or STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) education, and is an approach to problem-based and project-based learning that relies upon hands-on, often collaborative, learning experiences as a method for solving authentic problems.
