Demco's Making Framework
The Making Framework encompasses three levels of learning, designed to provide the foundational knowledge students need to build 21st century skills and advance to more complex projects.
Level 1: Exploration
Introduce new making platforms and guide students as they get familiar with these new tools.
Level 2: Amplification
Encourage students to use their new knowledge while applying problem solving and creativity to new design challenges.
Level 3: Origination
Give students the freedom to drive their own design, select their making platform, build, test, fail and apply everything they've learned.
Look Inside the Guide
Each challenge follows Demco’s Making Framework, designed to encourage student–driven learning and reflection.
