Nexmap NEXMAP We seek to build a thriving community of practice for innovation and creative learning that develops students' creative and technological confidence.

NEXMAP’s education initiative, 21st Century Notebooking, provides new tools to educators for creative thinking and production-centered learning through paper circuitry. Working with local and national partners, we develop and share new learning materials and support educators and students through workshops, online resources and community outreach. Founded in Fall 2005 and established as a 501(c)3

nonprofit organization in the Summer 2006, NEXMAP began as a platform for the production and appreciation of contemporary, experimental art. Since its inception the organization has been dedicated to supporting new forms of expression found at the intersection of the arts and new technology. To this end, NEXMAP has re-directed its focus to its STEAM education program and the development of 21st Century Notebooking, recognizing the essential role the arts and new technology have in developing innovative models for education.

Recapping old projects: Pointillist Chair and its prototype. Held together with tension and no hardware, it distributes the sitter’s weight over a series of points. Hundred + yr old bricks and boards salvaged from old rowhomes. https://t.co/UdOrvgRGp7

I’m sick of ‘Making’ as disposable, cardboard, & electronics kits that are closed ended. It’s peak de-skilling.

Why not ceramics, woodworking, knitting, sewing, sculpture, or any craft that can make artifacts people want & will cherish? Why not a craft that values materials?

How are we are helping current 4 year olds become future data scientist? Beyond literacy, we need more data experiences and data fluency. https://t.co/DU6329h1HA
