Brandy Jackson is a nationally recognized STEAM educator in the area of digital fabrication in k-8 settings. In 2015, she began a passion project called the Mobile MakerSpace. The mobile lab brings digital fabrication lessons to after school programs, recreation centers, elementary schools, and art centers for younger participants. Research shows that grades 4-6 are the most fertile grounds for STEM learning, but most Digital Fabrication programs are placed in high schools. Her goal is to use the Active Research Method (ARM) to prove that by building an early foundation in the k-8 programs, digital fabrication can be more advanced in the high school levels and have higher participatory numbers in STEM programs.
