Maker Competencies and the Undergraduate Curriculum Final Performance Report

Abstract

The list of maker-based competencies compiled in 2016 by UTA Libraries’ Maker Literacies Task Force provides a framework for assessing the learning that results when making and design thinking are integrated into curricula. The proof-of-concept pilot funded by this planning grant integrates these competencies into the curricula of a diverse selection of 17 undergraduate courses spread across five institutions. This final performance report includes a list of activities completed, links to project deliverables, explanations of variance from our original project plan, a discussion of lessons learned, and next steps for growing and sustaining the Maker Literacies program.
