Benefits of Choice based/ TAB and maker classrooms

I am currently reading "MAKER-CENTERED LEARNING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SELF: PRELIMINARY FINDINGS OF THE AGENCY BY DESIGN PROJECT

A WHITE PAPER PRESENTED BY AGENCY BY DESIGNPROJECT ZERO, HARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION. In it the benefits of maker-centered is listed as the following:

"Many of our interviewees talk about how maker experiences help students to:
* learn to pursue their own passions  
* become self-directed learners, 
* proactively seeking out knowledge and resources on their own. 
* problem solve, to iterate, to take risks, 
* to see failure as opportunity, and 
* to make the most out of unexpected outcomes. 
* build on each others’ strengths and interests, 
* to persist in difficult tasks, and to be confident of their capacity to learn new things. 
* learn together synchronously and asynchronously, in real as well as virtual environments, and from a wide variety of people, including their peers. 
* to see themselves as capable of effecting positive change in their own lives and in their communities. 

"The Big Takeaway

Students learn a tremendous amount through maker-centered learning experiences, whether these experiences take place inside or outside of makerspaces and tinkering studios. There is no doubt that students learn new skills and technologies as they build, tinker, re/design, and hack, especially when they do these things together. However, the most important benefits of maker education are neither STEM skills nor technical preparation for the next industrial revolution. Though these benefits may accrue along the way, the most salient benefits of maker-centered learning for young people have to do with developing a sense of self and a sense of community that empower them to engage with and shape the designed dimension of their world.
