Charles M. Schweik, interdisciplinary maker, instructor, and scholar, covers The Untapped Potential of Making and Makerspaces in this article for Inside Higher Ed. Schweik explores four ways that institutions can better utilize their makerspaces in teaching and learning, including: helping students connect their projects to their passions, cultivating projects over time, working across disciplines, and using making in the humanities as well as the sciences.
