Description¶

In response to the survey finding that student project ideas and guides were the highest-ranked need, Digital Promise and Maker Ed committed to launching an effort to "curate and connect available open education resources for making, and to make these resources easier to implement by re-formatting, combining, linking to standards or content goals, and publishing." This strategy targets the resource gap most immediately valued by maker champions across nearly all job categories.
