Makerspace Workshop

Presenter: Steven Payne - Standout Education

In this one day, hands-on, workshop learn how to set up an engaging “makerspace” in your school that fosters creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and technical skills. Consider how electronics, coding and robotics activities can be integrated to support learning across the curriculum. You will learn to invent and program with a range of electronic kits. Working in small groups, you will design amazing creations, build them with recycled materials and craft supplies and bring them to life with programming!

The Lyon Declaration

The Lyon Declaration on Access to Information and Development was successfully launched at the World Library and Information Congress 2014 in Lyon. Since then, over 280 organisations from across the library and development community have signed the document and called upon United Nations Member States to incorporate access to information in the new post-2015 development framework.
