We have sharedlearning attributes of making; it could be a useful intellectual exercise to consider how suchvalues are amplified or lessened within an engineering learning culture. The concept of additiveinnovation is mentioned above. Can that be supported in K-12 and undergraduate learningexperiences? Is the current implementation more convergent and less exploratory in nature?The study of Makers, Making and Making-Based Learning is a ripe opportunity for theengineering education community to reflect on our approach to teaching and learning.

Students are required to work in teams developing new product ideas.Each team carries their idea through to a working prototype, and manufacturing and businessplans. They also submit a proposal for funding and a draft patent application. In its current form,the class project is usually the basis for the senior
