Maker Ed’s team has been incredibly resourceful and inspiring the past two years. We have, like so many people around the world, been navigating profound uncertainty by showing up, taking care, and dreaming bigger than ever.
![Untitled_Artwork 17_edited.png](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2f9328_fd2bf0b0699b4a0fbbb9e098abfe52c7~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_600,h_179,al_c,q_95,enc_auto/Untitled_Artwork%2017_edited.png)
We closed our physical office and started working remotely on March 12, 2020. For a small team used to being together every day, this was an intense and abrupt shift to a new…everything.
We had been preparing to separate from the Tides Center, our fiscal sponsor for over a year, and were scheduled to launch as our own 501(c)(3) on April 1, 2020. It’s hard to remember all the details of those first few months of 2020 - everything was dynamic and changing very quickly, but we focused on a few core areas: taking care of our team; being responsive to the needs emerging from COVID shutdowns and the pivot to 100% online work and school; and creating a 501(c)(3) aligned with our values of joy, community, agency, learning, and equity. While Maker Ed has not wavered from this focus over the past two years, it has been full of change and transition.
This is our first annual report as our own non-profit and two years later, we are still making it!
I hope you see in the timeline, quotes, and statistics of our work, a team that has grown and dreamed together in powerful and transformative ways.
We are continuously trying new ways of being, communicating and working. We have further developed our collective practice as anti-racist, anti-oppression practitioners, and are committed to continue learning. We supported educators and our partners through painful and upsetting years, and we have built it to be sustainable.
We navigated internal transition and external change as gracefully as possible, knowing change is inevitable. We worked to build a culture where our team can shine and rest, and know that that journey is ongoing. We held steadfast in our belief that another way, another world, is possible, and that now is the time to make it so.
​
It is a pivotal moment in education as we see educators leave the profession at alarming rates. Critical Race Theory (CRT) is banned in seven states, with 16 more bans in progress. While CRT is not part of any K-12 curriculum, these legislative actions prevent educators from teaching the truth about race and racism in this country. 2021 was the worst year in recent history for anti-LGBTQ legislative attacks, with an unprecedented number of states enacting anti-LGTBQ measures into law, and at least seven states proposing anti-trans bills in the first week of 2022. Books are being banned in nearly half of all 50 states. Education is on the precipice. Maker Ed’s response to this is to double down on our commitment to BIPOC educators and youth, to trans and queer educators and youth, to educators and youth with disabilities, and to anyone committed to co-creating a future where everyone is seen, respected, heard and validated for their brilliance. A world where everyone has access to a life of choice, voice, and freedom. We believe this can be true and we work to make it so. We hope you will see and celebrate our accomplishments of the past two years, and that you will join us as we reimagine and build an inclusive and joyful future.
​
With endless hope and in solidarity,

Began work on Learning Pathway in support of 26 AmeriCorps VISTAs to build capacity for maker-centered learning at 16 community colleges and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the United States as part of Citizen Schools' inaugural cohort of Maker Fellows.
Worked with Kristina Williams of Unpacking, and Dr. Darlene Hall on power and privilege dynamics at play on our team.

In co-developing and delivering a 6-month long professional learning pathway for Maker Fellows, I was able to refine and extend learnings related to facilitating transformative remote learning experiences, retooling a variety of approaches Maker Ed has drawn on in the past (from maker-centered learning to inquiry-based science education) to build a non-co-located community of practice.

Learning in the Making (LITM) was solidified as a permanent Maker Ed project in Fall of 2020. LITM is a response to the persistent omission of youth of color and educators of color from the dominant narratives surrounding maker education. LITM makes the work of educators and youth of color more visible amid the steady (sometimes overwhelming) stream of remote learning content. As educators grapple with how to engage students in remote learning, and how to bring anti-racism work into their practice, LITM offers concrete examples that model both. Read more about the beginnings of this series on our blog.

My new role has shifted from the external (delivering learning content) to the internal (facilitating a core, cross-program team of Maker Ed staff to collaboratively create learning content at every stage of an iterative design cycle); I am focusing on refining internal systems, processes, and pipelines of content creation.

Our partnerships moved at a slower and more intentional pace as we continued to adjust to the uncertainty in our community. We began to change the way we talk about what we do, why we do it, and for whom–and that shift in our language (from our day-to-day outreach to our strategic planning) really transformed who we are in partnership with.

We design, facilitate, and implement Learning Events that model maker-centered learning rooted in culturally-responsive, liberatory, abolitionist, and anti-racist pedagogies. The core of this work is to develop and facilitate learning events that are liberatory, participatory, and equitable in content and process for educators across the country.
We leverage Learning Events as a space for: creating and facilitating transformational learning experiences; designing culturally-responsive maker-centered learning activities and experiences that honor participants' whole selves; providing tools for integration and implementation of diverse media of making across content areas; training and connecting educators to utilize maker education as a liberatory practice that honors learners identities, histories, cultures, and funds of knowledge; and developing and cultivating relationships with and between educators.
Prototyping new collaboration structures - Squads, sprints, strive to make internal decision-making processes more transparent

Special thanks to Humble Bundle, whose support and advocacy means that countless customers of theirs know about Maker Ed and have decided to make small donations with their purchase of published content from Make:Community, Riley Publishing, and others. Those small donations amounted to more than $230,000 during the pandemic! Thank you to Kelley and the fantastically humble team!
