Teacher Academy Maker Education (TAME)
Project empowers the next generation of teachers to bring hands-on creativity into classrooms across Europe.
The Maker Movement is one of the most inspiring ways to boost young people’s creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills – all essential for the 21st century. However, today most maker activities happen outside schools, in libraries, clubs, or after-school programmes.
To make maker education accessible to all students, it needs to become part of regular school life. But schools and teacher training programmes are not ready for this shift yet.
Project duration: 1.04.2025-31.03.2028
TAME bridges this gap by:
Establishing a Teacher Academy focused on Maker Education.
Creating a Maker Competency Framework and developing practical learning modules.
Offering joint training courses for student-teachers and in-service teachers, both on-site and online.
Supporting teacher mobility and real-school experiments to integrate maker projects into everyday teaching.
Evaluating the impact and delivering policy recommendations to help shape education systems across Europe.
Through this project, we aim to spread the spirit of the Maker Movement into every classroom and prepare teachers to inspire the next generation of innovators.
