La cultura MAKER y por qué nos interesa tanto desde la educación. Luego de hablarle con emoción a mi esposa sobre makers, impresoras 3D, reciclables, placas arduino y luces LED, no pudo evitar hacerme la pregunta que cualquier docente haría: ¿cuáles son los beneficios de traer la cultura maker a la educación? El impacto que se reconoce de integrar prácticas y lógicas de la cultura maker en la educación se puede distribuir (para efectos educativos) en 04 aspectos principales: competencias que están asociadas al enfoque STEAM, aprendizaje potenciado con tecnologías, competencias denominadas del siglo 21 y aspectos de identidad e inclusión social en el marco de la ciudadanía digital. Para efectos prácticos, en esta entrada comentaré sobre los dos primeros. Posteriormente en otra publicación abordaré los dos últimos. Enfoque STEAM Pero aparte de ser un acrónimo de disciplinas afines ¿a qué nos referimos cuando hablamos del enfoque STEAM? Integración del enfoque STEAM en la currícula.
Integrar este enfoque en un plan de estudios es un gran desafío. 2. Drawing (conversations) machine #2 – Nathier Fernández. ««««««« Post under construction »»»»»»» – in collaboration with Daniel Castaño – Cardboard, tape and wood prototype There was an interest from the beginning to make our drawing machine as simple, efficient and budget-friendly as possible, with the paper roll running without much problem on our wood structure, while the main task was to figure how the machine would function properly with all its components, the looks were also very important for us.
What works for the deadline? Our budget? More components? Is this material ok? This prototype had the following materials: Two (2) 360° servo motors – Four (4) micro servos – Two (2) microphones amplifiers – One (1) Paper roll 2 1/4″ – Two(2) Stabilo point pens – One (1) Arduino UNO – One (1) breadboard – Jumpers – Plywood board – Wood board 2 in. x 2 in – Cardboard – Electric tape – Double sided tape – Wood glue.

El concepto “alumno” se encuentra prohibido en algunos círculos. Incluso, a nivel de la formación inicial de profesores, pero aquí te explicamos las razones por las que la palabra se puede utilizar. En algunos círculos docentes, el concepto “alumno” se encuentra prohibido. Incluso, a nivel de la formación inicial de profesores, hemos sabido de docentes formadores que critican con vehemencia su uso por parte de los estudiantes de pedagogía.
Quienes promulgan ese rol inquisidor por el uso de este concepto, explican que alumno significa “sin luz”. Pero la verdad es que si bien el conductismo y la instrucción tuvieron su momento histórico -y actualmente también es posible ver sus vestigios-, la etimología de alumno está muy lejos de representar directamente tal condición y más todavía de significar “sin luz”. Hay miles de profesores que día a día tienen que convivir con cientos de mitos sobre la educación. How to Build Your Makerspace | EdSurge Guides.

Everything in their lives is captured in silicon chips and chronicled on Facebook. Algorithms track how quickly they complete their homework; their text message confessions and #selfies are whisked to the cloud. Yet the massive digital ecosystem they inherited is fragile, broken, and unsafe. Built without security in mind, it’s constructed on faulty code: From major companies such as Yahoo to the US government, breaches of highly sensitive or personal files have become commonplace.
The insecurity of the internet is injecting itself into presidential politics ahead of the November election. In the not too distant future, digital attacks may set off the next war. As they brace for an even more connected future, there’s a growing community of kids dedicated to fighting off the threat of cyberattacks. Passcode traveled across the country to meet 15 of these rising stars who are under 15 years old. Mr. Jóvenes Makers: Aprende, Crea, Comparte ! | Observatorio de la juventud en Iberoamérica.

The most affordable 3D Scanner that works best with Software from its competitor The 3D Scanner I’m reviewing here is made by Taiwanese 3D Printer manufacturer XYZprinting. It’s simply called the XYZprinting 3D Scanner, although the supplied software refers to it as the XYZscan Handy. At €199 / $199 it’s probably the most affordable 3D Scanner on the market today and it’s widely available through resellers such as the Dutch 3D Printer and Scanner store 3DNINJA that kindly provided me with the review model. It costs half as much as the first generation 3D Systems Sense I reviewed earlier.
And while that device captured the geometric shape of objects in a surprisingly good way, its color capturing was completely useless due to the RGB camera with a resolution just 320 x 240 pixels. The question of course is: can a 3D Scanner for less than $200 be any good? Hardware At 238 grams (0.52 lbs) and 15.7 cm (6.2 inch) long it’s feather light, small and easy to hold. Nothing special there.
Verdict. STEAMLabs community makerspace: Everyone can be a maker by Andy Forest & Marianne Mader. Risks and challenges As with any new makerspace, the biggest challenge for STEAMLabs will be keeping our construction on schedule. We plan to open the doors of our new space by Summer 2015. There's a lot of work to do—walls to build, furniture to make, lighting to mount—but we have a capable team and supportive community in place to make it happen! We are working closely with an all-star cast of Designers, Architects, Engineers, and Project Managers at the Centre for Social Innovation to ensure that the renovations stay on track and we make the space as accessible as possible.
We have also secured another workshop space on an upper floor in the same building for the summer, in case renovations are not quite completed by the end of June. We have conducted extensive research on the best tools and equipment to order. Once our campaign is funded the orders will go in for our equipment!

Qué nos falta para innovar en México. Por José Escamilla / Director de TecLabs México tiene la oportunidad de pasar de la economía de la manufactura a la del conocimiento y llevarnos a un nuevo nivel de bienestar. De acuerdo con el Fondo Monetario Internacional, la economía del país ocupa el lugar 15 de entre las más grandes del mundo y el 11 en términos de paridad de su poder adquisitivo. Desde la crisis de 1994, la economía ha mantenido un crecimiento constante, a pesar de la contracción sufrida por la recesión de 2008. Sin embargo, los rezagos y la desigualdad siguen siendo evidentes. La clave de los países que han logrado reducir las brechas sociales y han llevado a sus ciudadanos a niveles desarrollados de bienestar es que son economías del conocimiento. Sin embargo, además de la asignación de recursos económicos, las economías basadas en el conocimiento comparten el hecho de ser sociedades que producen innovación.
Falta de líderes Un primer obstáculo para innovar es la falta de líderes visionarios y comprometidos. FabLearn - Day 1 part 1_10/21/2017. Thinking about Thinking about Seymour [Video] Note: Closed-captioning for this video is in process and will be available in a few days. "You can't think about thinking without thinking about thinking about something. "- Seymour Papert Thinking about Thinking about Seymour, a day-long symposium at the MIT Media Lab, celebrated the ideas and research of Seymour Papert, pioneer of Constructionist learning, whose thinking and projects profoundly influenced and inspired generations of children, educators, and researchers around the world.
A world-renowned mathematician, learning theorist, and educational-technology visionary, Seymour Papert delighted in his interactions with children of all ages and from all walks of life.

About Seymour Papert. Drawing by Peter H. Reynolds Seymour Papert (1928-2016) was a mathematician and one of the early pioneers of artificial intelligence. In addition, he is internationally recognized as the seminal thinker regarding computers and pedagogy for children. A mathematician by training, his collaboration with Jean Piaget at the University of Geneva led him to consider using mathematics in the service of understanding how children can learn and think.
Papert was born and educated in South Africa, where he was an active participant in the anti-apartheid movement. In the early 1960s, Papert came to MIT, where, with Marvin Minsky, he founded the Artificial Intelligence Lab and co-authored their seminal work Perceptrons (1970). He is also the author of Mindstorms: Children Computers and Powerful Ideas (1980), and The Children’s Machine: Rethinking School in the Age of the Computer (1993). A celebration of Papert’s life was convened at MIT on January 26, 2017. Further reading: A few of Dr. Professor Seymour Papert. Park Maitland School -> Technology.

Studio Model NuVu’s pedagogy is informed by the architectural design Studio where a coach guides students in hands-on problem-solving to solve complex, comprehensive problems.
The Studio model uses exercises to build skills and integrates students’ knowledge in a final project. Within each multidisciplinary Studio, students explore problems rigorously by focusing on one project for two weeks. A Studio Coach mentors students to develop their project through an iterative process over the course of the Studio. Students confront the small and large contexts within problems as they are exposed to complex, ‘messy’ situations. Develop Real-World Solutions for the World Taught within the multidisciplinary framework of the design Studio rather than traditional subjects, NuVu students acquire a highly personalized understanding of the world and how they relate to it and can fully participate in it.
