MAKERSPACE AND INCLUSIVE IMPLEMENTATION:
Makerspace examined through equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization, and anti-racism (EDIDA) frameworks
A.I., V.R., and A.R. in
Inclusive Makerspace Environments
This critical learning task explores in artificial intelligence (A.I.), virtual reality (V.R.), and augmented reality (A.R.) in inclusive makification in digital and physical makerspaces. The assignment was to create a movie trailer. I chose to create a commercial for an imaginary makerspace business. The video contains both text and audio.
​
Reflecting on this assignment I realize that creating an inclusive physical or makerspace requires a 360 degree perspective so that the needs of students, instructors, and staff are met.
