What do Piaget, Papert, and pi-top have in common? They're all supporters and facilitators of "learning by making". The “maker” movement itself has been touted as an antidote to many of today's challenges in education, but many educators don’t have a clear sense of how “maker” learning works or how to get started with a maker-centric approach.
