    About this ebook

    In recent years, Maker-centered learning has emerged in schools and other spaces as a promising new phase of STEM education reform. With a sharp focus on equity, the authors investigate community-based STEM Making programs to determine whether, and how, they can address the educational needs of youth of color. They explore what it means for youth to engage in making with the explicit goal of addressing injustices in their lives. The text features longitudinal ethnographic data and compelling examples that show how youth of color from low-income backgrounds innovate and make usable artifacts to improve their lives and their communities. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the theory and practice of Making, STEM learning with adolescents, and equity in both formal and informal educational settings.

    “This much-needed book critically and constructively examines the stories of making and makers that have captured the public imagination.”
    —From the Foreword by Yasmin B. Kafai, University of Pennsylvania

    “This book offers a timely critical framing of STEM-rich making brought to life with vivid portraits of youth engaged in equitable and consequential learning in and across community settings.”
    —Beth Warren, Boston University
