Whether you’re an educator, parent, student or maker at heart, OTU’s Online Maker Modules will help you explore Makerspace tools that will expand any maker’s knowledge of how to create and/or engage in rich learning opportunities. Participants will gain a deep understanding of various Maker tools and the pedagogy and best practices that go hand in hand with using these tools.

In addition to the Maker Modules, we are offering Technology Certificate Courses.
