  • “Although I think it’s important to teach children how to make the most of these amazing machines, I’ve been concerned for a while that the focus on “coding” is driving everyone in front of screens and tablets, on their own. This potentially misses out some other important skills such as interpersonal communication, manual dexterity, creative imagination and maths. Children have amazing creative and imaginative skills, they’re like super powers at that age, and I wanted a way they could use them in learning about technology. So I made the Craft Computer to create a more physical and creative experience. One that not only demystified the world of computers but also reminded them how valuable art and creativity is to technology.”

  • "Makerspaces are increasingly being looked to as a method for engaging learners in creative, higher-order problem-solving through hands-on design, construction, and iteration," the report noted.

  • Involve students in every step of the planning,"
  • You must make decisions about its scope.
  • Safety is important, too, so you must also budget for goggles, gloves, aprons, lab coats and a fire extinguisher.
  • Part of planning will be deciding which tools to support.
  • "Also, an area to display student projects is important," he said. It helps the students develop a sense of pride.
  • Setup: Jarowski said many people ask if a makerspace is a classroom or a workshop. His answer is that it should be both, or a synthesis of the two. But he said several considerations should go into the physical setup. You should have both high-tech and low-tech areas, and clean and messy areas, with separate workstations for different types of activities. Don't carpet the space because carpet is hard to clean, he said. Make sure you include whiteboards so students can work on problems together.
  • It is important to showcase student projects, prototypes and designs, he said. Keep cameras around to document their efforts and include them in the social media and blog of the school.
