The Learning Dimensions of Making & Tinkering resource features specific indicators of learning throughout various levels of agency to help you recognize and interpret learners’ behaviors. This invaluable resource can be used for program planning and assessment.

Use or adapt this form to help document the implementation of your program, prompt facilitators to reflect on the program in practice, and track progress toward meeting intended outcomes.

This guide provides sample interview questions that can be used in a more in-depth way (if you need a more systematic way to collect data for reporting purposes) or an informal way (to make connections with and get feedback from parents and caregivers).

Our virtual model consisted of both a synchronous and asynchronous experience for our patrons. Using Niche Academy, an online learning portal, we were able to build weekly making and tinkering exploration activities for adults to facilitate from anywhere. Check out our archived virtual programming.
