Discription:

In recent years, Maker-centered learning has emerged in schools and other spaces as a promising
new phase of STEM education reform. With a sharp focus on equity, the authors investigate
community-based STEM Making programs to determine whether, and how, they can address the
educational needs of youth of color. They explore what it means for youth to engage in making
with the explicit goal of addressing injustices in their lives. The text features longitudinal
ethnographic data and compelling examples that show how youth of color from low-income
backgrounds innovate and make usable artifacts to improve their lives and their communities. This
book is essential reading for anyone interested in the theory and practice of Making, STEM
learning with adolescents, and equity in both formal and informal educational settings.&#8220Ths
