Learning by making (also called 'maker education') propagates and educational method in which children learn skills and gather knowledge by making things. Maker education (a term coined by Dale Dougherty in 2013) closely associated with STEM learning, is an approach to problem-based and project-based learning that relies upon hands-on, often collaborative, learning experiences as a method for solving authentic problems. People who participate in making often call themselves "makers" of the maker movement and develop their projects in maker spaces, or development studios which emphasise prototyping and the repurposing of found objects in service of creating new inventions or innovations.
