Let the Making Begin!

Creating with cardboard, littleBits, and Makey Makey

The Lincoln Elementary MakerSpace is off the ground!  Thanks to an Adrian Schools Education Foundation grant we are able to bring a pretty cool opportunity to our kids. Over the next few weeks, a smaller group of students (MakerClub) will work together to shape our Space. Once the MakerSpace is complete it will be open to ALL Lincoln staff and students to use!  

A MakerSpace is a place for students to let their curiosity and imagination come to life, an informal, playful, atmosphere for learning to unfold, and students to find and share their passions. A space where making, rather than consuming is the focus. A space where transdisciplinary learning, inquiry, risk-taking, tinkering, crafting, thinking, and wondering can blossom. There are no directions, no standards, no true "structure", failure is an option. For more about what a MakerSpace is, visit the MakerSpace page on this blog. 

Please take some time to check out the resources on this blog to learn more about the MakerSpace movement and please mark your calendars for our APS MakerNight on November 12th, 2015!

Legos, Dash Robot, and good old coloring! 

Some great cardboard construction.
