'''Distinct Differences From Similar Workshops'''
In this day of innovation, students learn 7 steps of design thinking:[[File:Classtime.jpg|Cambridge High School students show off creativity and innovative ideas on Maker Day]]
#Define
Along with other creative seminars and group projects.
Each Maker Day is tailored to the distinct need of its participants by the event coordinator(s) and facilitator(s), making each Maker Day an immersive and unique learning experience. Tailoring the Maker Day to the needs of participants allows the outcomes to be tied to education, and later on, to be made into a regular way of thinking in the classroom (Crichton and Carter, 2014).[http://universityinnovation.org/images/a/a6/05Blossburg2.jpghttp://universityinnovation.org/images/a/a6/05Blossburg2.jpg] '''Impact Achieved For Students and Campus'''
A Maker Day encompasses and educates participants on all aspect of design thinking (Wikipedia). It exposes its participants to ideas and fosters creative thinking that would be difficult to achieve solitarily. It also allows participants to develop a sound network with others having similar ideas. By opening the door to networking, Maker Day allows for a higher level of development. Not only do participants learn the steps to design and innovation, they also gain valuable resources and like-minded collegues to continue growth outside of the event. A Maker Day is an excellent innovation tool for any career field.

The Innovative Learning Centre (ILC), at the University of British Colombia’s (UBC) Faculty of Education, Okanagan Campus has created a Tool Kit for individuals to host a ‘Maker Day.' This toolkit defines the steps of design thinking and highlights how they can be shown, as opposed to just being said as they would be in an ordinary lecture.
It is also important to note that Maker Days tend to be most successful when brought to younger innovators--in an annual Maker Day in Dubai, the younger minds made some of the most extraordinary developments, with an eighth grade student exploring hydroponics and dresses being created from recyclables. The younger we introduce and encourage creative thinking, the more ideas we will have generated.
