Inside the Dumpster Studio - Episode 2 - Patrick Benfield

In the second episode of Inside the Dumpster Studio, Doctora Basura and Patrick Benfield, STEAM director for St. Gabriel's School talk about the Dumpster as an empty box starting place, the Maker movement, teaching making in school, design thinking, project based learning, education vernacular, and the fear of pigeon-holing a program based on the name. #havetojustpicksomething

Only took me 9 minutes to realize I hadn't actually introduced him. Episode 2 excitement, and improving bit by bit.
