Last October, the New York Hall of Science and Maker Education Initiative convened more than 150 informal educators, funders, learning researchers, policymakers, and leaders in the informal community for this third in a series of symposia. Building on the previous conferences, Making Meaning [M2] took a critical look at how to describe and document the learning that takes place when young people make. See the full report.
