Looking forward to having Maker Spaces!

Art Room, Science Lab and Computer Lab! What do they all have in common? If you
guessed organized supplies, you are not wrong, but what I am talking about is a space
where you can create something. This space is a new age concept: MAKERSPACE.
A Makerspace is a place to learn, where all the tools for creativity are available. Every
Makerspace is different, but common tools in Makerspaces are usually a wood shop,
3D printers, tech gadgets, audio-visual equipment, and various hand tools. There
might also be computers and computing devices like Arduinos or Raspberry Pi
computers. A Makerspace is also a place where you can find a like-minded, project-
oriented student who has an aptitude for coding, or engineering, or is an artist or a
scientist.
Having a Makerspace carved out within our campus can be very exciting, but at the
same time, it could lead to overindulgence taking precedence over conventional
education which is equally important. My view is that there is a way to find balance,
and the need to have a Makerspace cannot be underestimated anymore. If you review
the 2019 report by the University Grants Commission (UGC), it cites lack of
employability as a significant challenge with most STEM students. The report also
states that the STEM students lacked practical and innovative thinking. STEM
education needs a more pragmatic approach and hence, a properly curated
makerspace can be a great enabler.
I feel very fortunate that here at DAIS, we have a very “get it done” style of education.
Almost all teachers, while being extremely qualified, understand the importance of
giving students a project-based method of learning. Most of our assignments are also
designed to bring out creativity and innovation. Apart from being a great institution,
we here at DAIS, have leaders when it comes to innovation in education. It will only be
right for our school to have one of the most advanced Maker Spaces for students to BOOK COVER - NIMAY SHAH
build, learn, fail and go forward.
