  • 1. Find the Space
  • It needs to be a place where students can drop in before school, during lunch, after school, or even during the day if the teacher allows them to visit.
  • Write as many grant proposals as possible. Have students help write grant proposals.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • 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.

  • Experiential learning is the process of learning through experience, and is more specifically defined as “learning through reflection on doing.”
  • increase knowledge, develop skills, clarify values, and develop people’s capacity to contribute to their communities
  • deeper and more significant learning
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The reflective practitioner allows himself to experience surprise, puzzlement, or confusion in a situation which he finds uncertain or unique.
  • Learning from direct experience can be more effective if coupled with reflection-that is, the intentional attempt to synthesize, abstract, and articulate the key lessons taught by experience. Reflecting on what has been learned makes experience more productive. Reflection builds one’s confidence in the ability to achieve a goal (i.e., self-efficacy), which in turn translates into higher rates of learning
  • If making is to go beyond something that is just fun to do while doing it, then reflection can and should be used to help insure that the knowledge, skills, dispositions, attitudes, and values learned through individual making sessions are transferred to other settings.
