Maker education has increased tremendously in community settings and classrooms across the country. Maker education is learner-driven and hands-on, often collaborative, and may focus on solving a problem or designing an object or device. There is a growing need for assessment and evaluation tools and approaches to understand and improve the nature of maker learning and provide evidence for the value of maker pedagogy. This workshop will bring together approximately 25 researchers from formal and informal settings as well as practitioners to review current maker assessment and evaluation tools and examine the role those tools can play for informing research and practice. The workshop will identify areas where future work is needed, including designing assessment and evaluation that effectively addresses the interests and needs of diverse learners. The workshop will disseminate an online collection of these assessment and evaluation tools, a research brief, and several webinars sharing the results and recommendations of the conference.The two-day, in-person conference will include pre-workshop surveys to determine and refine issues for consideration at the conference, identify a core set of readings and resources for conference participants, and to identify key topics for research briefings presented at the conference. The conference will include background briefings, hands-on try-outs of assessment tools, synthesis discussions, and identification of future directions for research and next steps. Resources developed from the workshop will be widely disseminated through workshop partner Maker Education’s website, an annual maker conference held at the University of Wisconsin, and through other publications reaching researchers and practitioners in informal and formal educational settings, This project is funded by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program, which seeks to (a) advance new approaches to and evidence-based understanding of the design and development of STEM learning in informal environments; (b) provide multiple pathways for broadening access to and engagement in STEM learning experiences; (c) advance innovative research on and assessment of STEM learning in informal environments; and (d) engage the public of all ages in learning STEM in informal environments.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在全国各地的社区环境和教室中，制造商的教育大大增加。制造商教育是由学习者驱动和动手的，通常是协作的，并且可能专注于解决问题或设计对象或设备。对评估和评估工具和方法的需求越来越大，以理解和改善制造商学习的性质，并为制造商教学法的价值提供证据。该研讨会将从正式和非正式的环境以及实践者中汇集大约25名研究人员，以审查当前的制造商评估和评估工具，并检查这些工具可以在研究和实践中扮演的作用。研讨会将确定需要未来工作的领域，包括设计评估和评估，以有效解决潜水者学习者的兴趣和需求。研讨会将在线分发这些评估和评估工具，研究简介以及分享会议的结果和建议的几个网络研讨会。为期两天的，面对面的会议将包括工程师的调查，以确定和完善会议上考虑的问题，以确定会议参与者的核心阅读和资源，以确定会议的核心阅读和资源，以确定会议介绍的介绍介绍的概述。会议将包括背景简报，评估工具的动手试用，综合讨论以及对研究和下一步的未来方向的识别。 Resources developed from the workshop will be widely disseminated through workshop partner Maker Education’s website, an annual maker conference held at the University of Wisconsin, and through other publications reaching researchers and practitioners in informal and formal education settings, This project is funded by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program, which seeks to (a) advance new approaches to and evidence-based understanding of the design and development of STEM learning in informal environments; （b）提供了多种途径，以扩大进入和参与STEM学习经验的途径； （c）对非正式环境中STEM学习的创新研究； （d）在非正式环境中吸引所有年龄段的公众学习STEM。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为是通过评估来获得的支持。
