Abstract: The present article aims to explain the challenges of maker education in social science, specifically in psychological courses. Three distinctive but inseparable challenges are the products, the professional competencies, and technology. The present articles show that the challenges can be overcome since the barrier is mainly in the back of educators’ minds. This paper argues that maker education should be cultivated in psychological courses to enhance meta-competencies, i.e., creativity in problem-solving, and to appreciate a prominent scholar in Psychology who creates a psychological product, i.e., counseling couch, namely Sigmund Freud. Further, a subject of maker education has been applied in psychological courses that show the benefit of making tangible products. The subject, i.e., creative and innovative, has successfully trained students to develop their creativity through making a product to address daily psychological issues. Finally, the course design and the effect on the students were discussed.
