This is the first workshop in our signature series - Foundations in Maker-Centered Learning where participants will experience Agency by Design Oakland’s special sauce that combines research backed frameworks from both MCL and CRT (culturally responsive teaching) increasing student engagement and deepening content knowledge.

Are you maker curious? Whether you’re a seasoned educator or new to the profession, this workshop has beneficial tools & strategies for all levels.


In this highly interactive  three hour session, you will: 

  • Learn about the key maker capacities that lead to maker and learner empowerment.

  • Have guided planning time to integrate  MCL with the curriculum you currently teach

Whether you're an elementary teacher looking for new ways to spark curiosity in young minds or a high school educator aiming to prepare students for future careers in STEM, this workshop will provide you with the tools, confidence, and inspiration to integrate Maker-Centered Learning into your classroom practice.


**No prior experience with maker activities is required—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore new ideas!**
