Makeology – books about maker education

Kylie Peppler, Erica Halverson, and Yasmin Kafai have edited two volumes (so far) about maker education.

The first book, Makeology Volume 1: Makerspaces as learning environments, focuses on “making in a variety of educational ecosystems, spanning nursery schools, K-12 environments, higher education, museums, and after-school spaces.”

The second volume, Makeology Volume 2: Makers as learners, “highlights leading researchers and practitioners as they discuss and share current perspectives on the Maker movement and research on educational outcomes in makerspaces.”

Both books were part of my literature review and were helpful as a snapshot of what’s happening in maker education in 2016.
