MAKEiT 2022

The third MAKEiT event was held on September 13, 2022 at the Eric J Barron Innovation Hub in downtown State College. This event was planned for nine months by members of TLT’s Creative Learning Initiatives, Learning Design and Operations teams. More than 70 faculty and staff from 41 disciplines and 16 campuses spent the day getting hands-on with new creative multimedia technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality, Adobe Express, What The Deck, the Metaverse, 3D scanning, and LEGO robotics. The six collaborative learning experiences were designed specifically for MAKEiT, with a unique emphasis on technology experience, problem-solving, and fun. These experiences jump-started a conversation about the use of creative technologies in the classroom and engages the Penn State community in exploring what comes next. Several of these newly designed learning experiences have been repurposed as new workshops in the Dreamery or the Media Commons.
