UTEP College of Education MAKERSPACE

The Transdisciplinary Studies in Early Childhood and STEM Education Laboratory

Located in room #201 of the Education Building, the College of Education MAKERSPACE is a wonder-driven learning environment where people come together to use their hands and minds to frolic, tinker, explore, create, invent, and discover. It is founded on the guiding principle articulated by Albert Einstein that: “Play is the highest form of research.” This holds true for the young children who come to the MAKERSPACE to engage in hands-on, creative problem-solving, as well as the adults who visit to explore and design transmedia-based ways of teaching and learning. More than just a physical place, the MAKERSPACE represents a collective mindset that celebrates humans as naturally being life-long builders and tool users, who learn best by creative doing.
