What kind of education does maker need, and what is maker education?

The word maker is derived from the English word "maker", which originally refers to a person who strives to turn various ideas into reality out of interest and hobby. Maker education is also STEAM education, maker education is a combination of maker culture and education, based on students' interests, in the way of project learning, using digital tools, advocating creation, encouraging sharing, and cultivating interdisciplinary problem-solving ability, teamwork ability and innovation ability.

Tong Cheng Tongmei focuses on programming for 6-18 year old teenagers and related STEAM maker education, and has formed a youth education platform with children's programming, intelligent robot programming and programming mathematics as the core, integrating large-scale authoritative science and technology competitions at home and abroad, children's qualification examination certification, science and technology-themed domestic and foreign study tours, winter and summer camps, and maker laboratory construction. The teaching system implements innovative education concepts, emphasizes the cultivation of students' comprehensive ability and the improvement of practical problem-solving ability, and transmits cutting-edge technology while stimulating interest and thinking exercise, so as to help Chinese young people build the ability and thinking vision to meet the future world.

Elementary School Maker Course:1. Structural creative maker courses. 2. Maker courses in electronic and mechanical engineering.

3. Logic program maker courses. 4. Maker courses in art creation.

Creative Maker Course of Buried Fibrillation:It mainly involves creative prototyping and implementation, manufacturing equipment and tools, such as small lathes, laser cutting, 3D printing, toy making, etc. One of them is made of plastic building blocks, and this industry-standard production and modular design allow any two parts to be freely spliced, thus creating countless connection possibilities.

There are many ways to use this structure for maker education, such as programming robots.

Here we introduce a simple and inexpensive way for students to learn mechanical structures.

There are all kinds of mechanical institutions in life, as long as they are carefully explored, they are an inexhaustible subject of science and technology education.

Teachers and parents can disassemble the mechanical wheel silver structure, analyze its principle, and use this kit to restore.

This kind of hands-on brain activity allows children to learn mechanics in the process of playing.

1. Maker education is an educational behavior that cultivates students' knowledge, vision, and ability required for innovation and entrepreneurship, which is mainly manifested in activities, courses, and environments.

2. The essence of maker education is to cultivate students' comprehensive ability to raise questions, research problems, solve problems, and make hands-on production in the process of helping students carry out maker activities, and initially integrate the whole process of scientific research, technical production, and artistic creation.

3. It can cultivate students' active exploration spirit, critical thinking ability, independent innovation ability, cooperative research ability, language expression ability, artistic creation ability, etc., maker education is a comprehensive, wide-ranging and innovative education method in primary and secondary education.

4. There is no doubt that the maker movement will change our learning in school. It reduces the damage that standardized teaching and testing do to students' personalized development, and encourages creativity and innovation in a new way—using new digital technologies to design, produce, share, and learn across time and space.

The Maker Course is based on the basic concept of "Creativity, Happiness, Collaboration, and Sharing".

Maker education is a systematic project, which needs to be promoted from many aspects such as maker environment, maker curriculum, maker learning, maker culture, maker teacher team, maker education organization, and maker education plan.

The cultivation of innovative talents requires the seamless integration of family education, social education and school education, especially the participation of various social forces (such as enterprises, associations, public welfare organizations, research institutions, etc.).

Learner-centered maker education should adhere to the basic concept of "creativity, happiness, collaboration, and sharing", and give full play to the enabling role of information technology, so that every student has the ability, consciousness and spirit of maker.

The promotion of maker education in China still faces many problems, so China should strengthen the theoretical and practical research of maker education at the same time, gather the wisdom of education think tanks, the public, enterprises, etc., and collaborate to create effective comprehensive solutions to clear the obstacles for the innovation and development of education.

Makers in China - "From 0 to 1", the country's development calls for the landing of "maker culture":

Peter Thiel, a well-known investor in Silicon Valley, concluded in "From 0 to 1" that "from 0 to 1" is innovation, which solves the problem of starting from scratch, qualitative change, and innovation. "From 1 to 100" solves the problem of going from having to many, which is quantitative change, replication and imitation. Looking back at the development of our country in recent decades, "from 1 to 100", we have accumulated a lot of experience, and "from 0 to 1" determines the future of our abutments.

At present, China has entered the ranks of the world's great powers, and the important task of leading the world's development has put forward an urgent need for us to innovate. In this context, the state put forward the call of "mass entrepreneurship, early hidden innovation", and elevated it to a national development strategy, and China's "makers" came into being. It can be seen that China's future calls for "maker culture", and only when it is truly implemented can it continue to nourish the root of life for the survival and development of the Chinese nation and create a new miracle of civilization for mankind.
