Take some time to explore what a Makerspace is and if it is something that would be useful for
your discipline (and working with other disciplines to be interdisciplinary). Here are some sites
to help you:

Some of my personal Favs:
If a MakerSpace doesn’t seem to fit your discipline well, explore other resources that you could
use in your discipline (thinking toward being interdisciplinary). Here are some resources:

For this assignment, take some time to explore online resources that are interesting to you and
fit well with your discipline. Think especially about what you can use and do more
interdisciplinary activities. Then write a 1-page paper about your exploration and how you can
see being more interdisciplinary in your future classroom.
