‘Making’ Their Way in the World: BPL Symposium Summary
“Rise above oneself and grasp the world.” — Archimedes on the Fields Medal
The inscription on the Fields Medal of Mathematics has this quote by Archimedes. As it turns out, it is very appropriate for what we did at the “Making” Their Way in the World Symposium. The conversations coming from this work have been fast and insightful. Many participants are still trying to unpack not only our work but also their own in the context of the Maker Faire and the symposium.
Our deep appreciation to the students, educators, and social entrepreneurs who attended and made this such an incredible and productive experience.
