Inspired by makerspaces, these capsules are designed to inspire educators in creating engaging, hands-on lessons for students using household materials. The videos are full of curriculum connections, helpful strategies, technical demonstrations, and skill development for all learners at all levels. Accompanying resources for both students and teachers supplement the videos.
The hashtags were inspired by Exploratorium’s The Tinkering Studio
