"As an educator committed to culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogy and conscious of a diverse society's expectations and needs, I believe in fostering critical literacy and science with maker spaces as a unique and innovative approach. Diverse communities will benefit in terms of their critical literacy and STEAM work. In particular, maker spaces can help culturally diverse students who need a space to share their stories and teachers who want to provide spaces for these funds of knowledge that are not part of the standard curriculum." - Fatima Seyma Kizil (Sheyma), Syracuse University
