  • A Makerspace is not a one-size-fits-all kind of space.
  • What are teachers already doing? What is already there, and how can we add to and augment it?
  • When students have to spend all their time fulfilling an external agenda, they don’t have a chance to learn how to create their own agenda. Teaching kids only what adults think they need to know can take up all the time kids need to explore what it is that they care about.

  • Makerspaces in schools should connect to student’s authentic interests, or the experiences children have had.
  • But in the process of following their own interests, they’re going to develop a lot of other skills.
  • School does some things well, but what I love about the library is that when I enter, I set the agenda.
  • I am excited about Making in schools — it can be really great.  But if the agenda for what needs to be Made is coming from outside the Maker, then that could be problematic.
