- Abstract
The maker movement has faced constant criticism for not considering the existing making practices in the context of people of diverse cultural and ethnic groups. Nonetheless, it is quintessential that the teaching and learning of STEM be done in terms of situating it in diverse socio-cultural contexts. This situation has informed researchers to identify STEM thinking through the lens of cultural, indigenous and craft making. This paper extends these non-conventional forms of making to a glocalized form of ‘making’. Thus by presenting a conceptualization and a sample proposal on what and how it is to take characteristic elements from the maker movement and infuse them into existing making practices in diverse culture and ethnic contexts is. It is proposed that such glocalized forms of making will bring about the interconnectedness of local and global practices of making for STEM learning.
