The Maker Movement and the Humanities: Giving Students A Larger Toolbox. Co-Authored by John Rieffel, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Union College, NY The empowering rise of the do-it-yourself Maker Movement has found fertile ground in higher education, cultivating a vibrant community who believe in the effectiveness of learning through doing, sharing and mentoring, playing, exploring, and risk-taking.

Guillermo II abandonó el complejo sistema de alianzas construido por Bismarck, los sistemas bismarckianos, que había garantizado la paz en Europa durante casi veinte años e impulsó una política alemana de hegemonía mundial, la Weltpolitik. Para comprender el camino que llevó a la Gran Guerra es necesario que reparemos en otras transformaciones de fondo que van alterar de manera decisiva el mundo que transitaba del siglo XIX al XX: En este marco de creciente competencia entre las potencias, florecieron otras rivalidades, esencialmente de tipo territorial, que están en el origen de la Gran Guerra: Encuentro del Emperador Francisco José de Austria-Hungría con el Káiser Guillermo II de Alemania Europa en 1914 Las alianzas enfrentadas Vídeo.
