This month, the Great Lakes Constructivist Consortium will focus on the edges of educational innovation--where Makers and Teachers meet! Join us on October 20th at 5:30pm and learn about:

• Makerspaces, Maker Faire, and the Maker Culture from James Carlson
• Shane Krukowski from Project Foundry, leading collaboration in project-based learning
• Claus Dunkelberg from the Water Council Incubator

Each of these groups is exploring the boundaries between maker culture and education. Join us! RSVP at Meetup.com

These meetups are open to educators, parents, high school students, business people and community members who are interested in co-creating a thriving community. Advocating "360° Learning," we hope to create a community connection between life-long learners of all walks and stages of life.
