Abstract

We describe work in progress on Deep Making, a framework for the design of curricular modules that facilitate learning of transferable content-knowledge in makerspaces and FabLabs. Concern about epistemological dilution and our experience in co-design work with educators in these settings has informed this theoretical framing. We discuss the need for such a set of modules and the educational theories that guide us in the process of designing them. We present a few examples of such modules and sketch out a research design to test their efficacy.
