We are delighted to announce that we have received further funding from Lloyd's Register Foundation to run an Accredited Trainer Course in 2025. We are recruiting 50 international #STEM practitioners to take part who will become accredited to deliver training in the 3-Steps Towards Equitable Practice (3-STEP) Approach in #Makerspaces and #ISL settings. Through the 9 month online course practitioners will: 🌍 Join an international network of informal STEM learning practitioners promoting equity and social justice. ✅ Become qualified to build capacity for equity in informal STEM organisations, with potential for income generation after accreditation. 👍 Learn from and work with leading global experts in informal STEM education practice research. 💸 Be paid for your time taking part Please see the leaflet below for more information about who we are looking for and do share with those who might be interested! https://lnkd.in/e2Xw-8Zc With thanks to our 9 brilliant international makerspace partners (3 new!)

Making Spaces is an international collaboration to develop and share inclusive practices in makerspaces
About us
Making Spaces is a research project based at UCL. Working with makerspaces in five countries, the project identifies and shares equitable practice to support diverse young people’s engagement with STEM. Makerspaces are informal sites for collaborative hands-on learning and creative production, with or without tools. These innovative learning spaces offer the opportunity to share materials, skills and ideas to address technological, personal, and societal goals. These spaces have the potential to offer valuable opportunities to underserved and underrepresented young people who are typically marginalised from mainstream engineering, science and technology. The Making Spaces Project, led by Professor Louise Archer (UCL IoE), and funded by Lloyd’s Register Foundation, seeks to support equitable youth practice within the sector to enable more makerspaces to fulfil these aims.
