Thy for technology og makerspace

Thisted Municipality will establish makerspaces at the municipality’s fifteen schools and develop a common didactic model that will be used as the basic structure at the individual makerspaces. 
Skills enhancement must ensure that the physical spaces ‘flow’ into the existing subjects, so that these are supported to an even greater extent by the technology and demands encountered by students after leaving lower secondary school. At the same time, the spaces must flow into the students’ activities at their after-school recreation schemes where the students themselves are hosts during school breaks. The skill sets of 45 head teachers, 50 superusers, 350 teachers and 100 students will be enhanced in collaboration with Aalborg University, UCN’s Teacher Training Programme and CFU (Teaching Aids Centre).
The project is linked to local businesses and stakeholders who provide case studies, knowledge and residual materials. The business cooperation also forms close ties between students’ efforts at the school’s makerspace to their local community, and uses current and future problem areas encountered by the businesses as the point of departure.
