Active learning in makerspaces extends beyond the process and product of making. Encouraging students to document the process of making and showcase the product of making offers an opportunity to reinforce active learning. This presentation shows how integrating digital scholarship practices, such as using digital tools and platforms to document, present, and preserve different stages of making, facilitates active learning and engagement. Drawing from experiences with the Maker Week events and a Robotics Camp, this presentation highlights how documentation and digital showcase strengthens learning by encouraging reflection, iteration, and the ability to communicate one’s work to broader audiences. The session covers best practices for recording different types of creative work at different making stages and examines how digital platforms can be leveraged to archive and share student projects.
