This essay presents an overview of the Making and Knowing Project and its approach to teaching hands-on history of craft and science through the lens of an early modern manuscript compilation of artisanal recipes. It calls attention to the advantages and challenges of cultivating student skills through an intensive program of problem-based pedagogy, highlights the transformative potential of experiential learning, and introduces the Project’s next initiative: a “Research and Teaching Companion” to help users integrate exploratory, question-generating experiments into the classroom and project design.
