  • Write as many grant proposals as possible. Have students help write grant proposals.

  • 2. Find the Money
  • One of the things that we didn't want to do was buy tons of tools for the students and tell them, "Do something with these."
  • 3. Find the Tools
  • crowdfunding
  • students just need to be given the space to be creative, and amazing things will happen.
  • 4. Find the Students
  • Promoting the creativity aspect will make a difference. A makerspace is a great place to get away from the standardized testing and try something new and exciting.
  • We need to encourage STEAM across the board for all students, and makerspaces can be an ideal entryway for students who might not be natural to these fields of study.
  • Makerspaces can be the spot that encourages a whole new generation of creative minds to explore and solve the big problems. It gives students a chance to see what they can do when they aren't limited by four multiple choice answers. Creativity is a valuable resource -- and a makerspace is the perfect tool to enhance and harness it.
