In this age and time, learning the art and science of technology is as important as learning reading and writing. We are witnessing monumental advances in the world of technology around us and how it is affecting almost every aspect of our lives – including education.

Developing a culture of entrepreneurship amongst the students is at the core of EPS mission as indicated by 3E’s of EPS (Education, Ethics and Enterprise). Author and inventor Chris Anderson noted in his book Makers: A new Industrial Revolution, “the next wave of manufacturing and entrepreneurship will be borne of the talents and shared ideas developed by Makers.” Being a Maker is a mindset that can be cultivated in a culture that supports learning through Making.

Learning through Making has the power to revolutionize education by empowering students to see themselves in the role of creators as opposed to only consumers. To truly impact student learning, Making and Tinkering should not be confined to just the makerspace, the classroom, or afterschool activities. To truly transform education, one needs not only build a makerspace but build and sustain a culture of creative expertise, inventive thinking, and effective problem solving. As the Internet of Things extends human capacity to remake and re-conceptualize our environments, learning and thinking like a Maker become increasingly relevant and valuable. Futuristic Schools must build a Maker Culture.
