The Makery-Katherine Delmar Burke's School
The Makery at Burke's is an extension of a project known as 21st century learning. The concept is that the old standard of classroom set up may be outdated--that students should have a more proactive, engaged, and self driven role in their own education. It is also, hopefully, a way to encourage girls to call upon creativity and innovative thinking to create and solve problems. It is in this way that they hope to encourage girls to remain in the engineering and technology tracks as they continue through schooling.
The Makery is a two-floor space that includes materials, technology, and movable furniture to make the space have the highest potential utility and versatility as possible. IT is a place for girls to learn, explore, collaborate, create, and see their ideas come to life. |
