The AcadeMAKE Conference

Page

AcadeMAKE was a one-day conference held February 20, 2015, focusing on making and makerspaces within an academic campus environment.  This conference aimed to bridge the gap between play and application. Sessions included idea sharing, academic research, use cases, experiences and creations.

The first conference of AcadeMAKE was a collaborative effort – a team consisting of UNCG School of Education (SOE) staff and UNCG Libraries staff – and is supported by a State of North Carolina LSTA grant.

The conference organizers had a wonderful time at AcadeMAKE 2015 and we hope you did, too!  Please take a view minutes to complete a conference evaluation form if you haven’t already at bit.ly/AcadeMAKEeval.
