To help students grow, sometimes we have to get creative.

That's exactly what Gretchen Thomas, senior lecturer in the Department of Workforce Education and Instructional Technology, set out to do when creating a service-learning course called the Makerspace Class and helping students embrace the "maker mindset".

“The maker mindset is a disposition we all want our children to have,” Thomas said. “To be creative and persistent, to be critical thinkers and collaborators, and to be patient and share. This class is an opportunity to have a low-stakes environment and put this all into practice without knowing that they’re practicing. It’s an opportunity to exercise a skillset that is important regardless of subject area.”
