Why don’t we do this in the USA? This would be a great source of resources that would otherwise end up in the ocean or floor somewhere, why not use them to build...

Love this. So many people think all kids will love and need a makerspace environment. Not true. All kids should have access but not required to participate.
This is the same line of thinking where schools add a makerspace but get rid of the library. Bad idea.

So excited to try these AT plexiglass overlays with my Ss! Thanks to Alan Rader @MonPubLib makerspace designing with @Illustrator and @Glowforge and Mrs. Napierkowski for the project collaboration. #ATPproud #access #schoolbasedOT #finemotoradaptation #Assistivetech #lasercut

Handmade ornaments made from wood shavings on a Finnish Christmas tree...very beautiful & very geometric!

Before we moved on to other things I wanted to stop and document some of the literally 100s of coded #turtleart shapes we cut out in library makerspace last month. Grades 2-5, almost every child took home a document of their #computationalthinking . @TinkeringStudio

Fine motor skills tracing turkeys with @Ozobot bit colored codes and stickers. Students worked hard to color in the small boxes. @3Doodler is a great way to accessorize this little guy. @makeonomics @jenschankOT @BlairFitz1 #schoolOT #edtech #ozobotbit #thanksgiving

I may or may not have stopped on the side of the road to grab a rusted out solid metal shelving unit because I think I can clean it up, toss some paint on it, and use it to store student projects on our makerspace. #makerspace

After learning about hand tools, Ss have been doing great with jigsaws and now the #bandsaw. “This is such a nice cut!” #confidence #makerspace #kispride

Medical applications of additive manufacturing are everywhere now. This summer I saw a 3D printed being used in a dentists office in Michigan. And now this. It’s incredible. I love teaching my kids that they could do this someday. #3dprinting wired.co.uk/article/3d-print…

Billy cuts dead hickory, oak, and cedar trees from his property and builds jewelry boxes and cedar chests for other veterans and nurses in his work shop. His work is amazing.

One of the things I’m most hyped about this school year is that my #engineering and #robotics classes have lots of girls who chose to sign up. Almost 50% in some. It’s taken awhile but we are getting there #WomenInSTEM #equality #GirlsWhoCode #makerspace #kispride

John Dewey said it best: "Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes."
We need to embrace this in our classrooms - learning from failure is the possibility of deep, authentic & meaningful learning & growth. – at Central & Western District, Hong Kong

Teachers: $1 stepper motors and $1 controllers are great for lower elementary #Makerspace w/ @arduino or @microbit_edu with minimal experience. Google "28BYJ-48 ULN2003" to find them. I am setting up lessons on compass direction & spatial concepts for students @magellanschool :)
