This document discusses the concept of campus makerspaces and how they differ from traditional computer-based education. It notes that makerspaces allow students to design, create, learn, and explore using technology like 3D printers rather than just receiving information from computers. The document provides examples of existing campus makerspaces and references that discuss how makerspaces can reshape education through hands-on learning with new technologies.
