Testimonials

"The Maker Ed program was an invigorating experience that continues to enhance the important work I do with elementary learners every day as STEAM instructor and technology coordinator. After collaborating with so many talented educators, honing my Maker Mindset, and exploring technologies in the Maker movement, I was inspired to pursue lifelong dreams of developing a STEAM Lab specifically for K-2 students. My learning at Rutgers not only gave me confidence to do this, but also in-depth knowledge that was crucial as I sought out these niche positions. Next year, I’ll be taking on a new role as the K-2 STEAM Instructor at an independent, progressive school in New York."

Jessica Cathcart, M.Ed.

Academic Technology Coordinator, Speyer School

"The lessons from these courses far extend the classroom and helped me advance in my career as a school library media specialist. When my district learned about my knowledge gathered from the program, they put me in charge of designing, budgeting, and opening our new makerspace. I was very well prepared to complete the endeavor and had much of the preparatory work done from the completion of the Maker Certificate."
