The document discusses makerspaces and how they can foster innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship (I.C.E.) through hands-on learning. It provides examples of how Curtin University Library supports a maker community through its makerspace, which allows students and faculty to experiment with tools like 3D printing and robotics. The document also discusses how "Internet of Things" and tools like Arduino can help connect people and sensors to gain a better understanding of the world.

- 2. 0102 Maker Culture and Maker Pedagogy Using creation to drive enquiry - HARD FUN. “This idea of making, of building, of constructing has a strong basis in research. Active learning increases the rate of learning faster than passive learning. Simply watching others build or make things fire up parts of our brain that are left untouched by passive learning.” http://www.core-ed.org/thought-leadership/ten-trends/ten-trends-2014/maker-culture

So what should we be spending our precious resources on? Knowledge creation tools, not the results of knowledge creation." Lankes, R. D. (2011). The atlas of new librarianship.

- 4. 0104 Curtin Makers Curtin University Library Maker Community What is a makerspace? A makerspace is a physical space that is used to create and learn through practical, hands on experiences. Fostering community building; makerspaces encourage experimentation, exploration and the sharing of tools, materials, knowledge and expertise. Makers can experiment with 3D printing and robotics alongside learning how to knit and make origami; creating a collaborative, cross-disciplinary space.

To facilitate this, CLT are working on a number of internationally leading projects and programs. History Curtin Learning and Teaching Strategic Innovations in Learning Engagement
- 7. 0107 Next Generation Learning Spaces Collaboration was the first step • Versatility – what else can they space do? • Adaptability – how does the space change? • Occupancy – private, public and shared? • Proximity – what spaces are nearby? • Connectivity – what connects and extends this space?

- 12. 0112 Main takeaways If you remember nothing else, remember these. • Collaborate at every opportunity • Strive for authenticity • Critically engage with the changes • Take in the long view • Actively engage with complexity Conclusion Start with a playful challenge-based approach Start with available tools Start sooner rather than later Start with unlimited thinking
