The writing on the wall: Maker spaces encourage students to take an active role

Can you read the writing on the wall? At the new Kincaid Learning Center, in Houston, that question can be taken figuratively and literally.

Thanks to dry-erase walls that line the learning center’s maker spaces, reading the writing on the wall becomes just another step in the creation process.

Designed by Kirksey Architecture’s PK-12 Education Team, the learning center’s maker spaces are meant to create a flexible learning environment that veers somewhat from traditional teaching methods.
