<p>Agency by Design Oakland and Maker Ed created a rich resource for teaching through repairing objects, in Oakland, California, USA. Grounded in research and classroom testing, the Toolkit includes teaching strategies, tactics, classroom materials, and a pedagogical framework for bringing repair thinking into the classroom. AbDO is a legacy program of Harvard Graduate School of Education.</p> <p>The thinking processes developed through repairing physical objects involve looking closely, understanding how things work, investigating the interests that shaped objects’ design, and identifying points of intervention.</p> <p>Those thinking processes support students’ cognitive and personal development, and are transferable far beyond simply fixing things. Toolkit materials were designed to be integrated into existing classes across subject areas.</p> <p>“Cultivating a Repair Mindset” offers educators material to help cultivate in students the insight, creativity, and motivation to contribute toward putting what we value into working order.</p> <p>Many other educator resources for teaching about repair are on the Culture of Repair Project website.</p>
