What does it take to Make Makers in schools? In her book, Making Makers: Kids, Tools, and the Future of Innovation, AnnMarie Thomas, an engineering professor at the University of St. Thomas, asks the big question “How do we empower children to become, and remain, makers?” (p. xi). To find out, Thomas interviewed dozens of adult makers to gain a better sense of what it was they experienced as young people that helped support them in becoming the makers they are today. Based on her conversations with so many unique makers, Thomas has identified eight attributes that she suggests are important to develop in younger makers.
