International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, <\/a>\u00a0their newscast focused on equipping the school community to understand what it means to be LGBTQ2+, to recognize and reject LGBTQ2+phobic language and behaviors, and to emphasize the importance of LGBTQ2+ people in their school community. Especially poignant — the principal, who co-hosted this special newscast, drew a picture of his own family, showed photographs of his family celebrating important moments together, and explained that his children have two dads. With more than 250 views for this newscast alone, the work in this Makerspace is reaching community beyond the school walls, and equipping students and faculty to understand and use a shared language of inclusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAs Jo\u00ebl, his colleagues, and his students show us, a school Makerspace can become its heart — a place where technologies can be used to make meanings that strengthen, empower and create more inclusive communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
*Jo\u00ebl approved my translations of his words, gave me permission to use his real name in this blog post, and to use this photo of him teaching in the Makerspace. The school\u2019s Youtube channel is public. The principal of the school also reviewed the post and gave his support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
