Join us to learn how digital making, emerging technologies and design thinking have connected museums’ collections and exhibitions to students’ subject knowledge at the ‘Make 4 Fun’ Maker Experimental Studio of the New Taipei Municipal Banqiao Senior High School!
The ’Make 4 Fun’ Studio is a learning base specializing in digital making and emerging technologies. It boasts a diverse teacher community from multidisciplinary backgrounds. For more than eight years, it has worked with museums such as the Palace Museum and the Kinmen Museum of History and Folklore to develop school-museum collaborative programmes, thematic student camps and teacher co-creation workshops. Through co-create experiences guided by design thinking, teachers identify and address pain points in leveraging museum resources, and systematically re-interpret museum knowledge for their school-based needs. Join us at this lecture to learn about illuminating case studies of museum learning and creating by teachers and students!
