"'Creative' workers were a problem in a system where every human component was supposed to be interchangeable. Creating learners who could grow independently was simply not part of the plan."
—CREATE and the Art of Growth, May, 2019
I invited Google Gemini to look at the makerspace-oriented posts here, choose its "favorite" and explain its choice. It selected "CREATE and the art of growth," from 2019. I like the choice because it talks about the philosophical underpinnings of maker education, which are the raison d'être of CREATE. It's the 99-second elevator pitch for maker ed.

It's also a statement about the role of education in a post-employment world—a world in which people will seek self-actualization outside of traditional careers. They will want to draw from their experiences and seek their own intellectual paths, rather than train to fulfill marketable corporate needs.
I invite you to read (or re-read) the review to see how it distilled my intentions down in that one post. I think it nailed it.
