PRE-CONFERENCE INCLUSION WORKSHOP
Nation of Makers is partnering with a National Science Foundation-funded team from Virginia Tech and Purdue University to bring the Unconference on Making Liberatory Spaces as a Pre-Conference Workshop on Friday, June 8th. While the theme of the whole conference will focus on inclusive practices, this special workshop will allow for research partners from diverse, inclusive, liberatory maker spaces around the country to share their organizations’ story and exchange best practices regarding inclusion of diverse populations in maker spaces.
If you have questions about participating in this, please contact Adam Masters of Virginia Tech here:
