Learning practices of making: developing a framework for design

2015 
While the Maker Movement has gained momentum in formal and informal settings, the practice has been ahead of the research, especially on learning. In this paper, we introduce a framework of learning practices (LPs) of making for the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh's makerspace, called MAKESHOP. Through a collaborative and iterative process with the Teaching Artists, we developed and revised a framework of LPs of making. The LPs are described and illustrative data from a circuit block activity are provided to further explain the practices. Implications and some future work are discussed.
