  • 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.
