Makerspace Progress

So I’ve been fortunate to have support from our Central Office with the 21st Century Shift.  I’m getting new furniture in my Collaboration Zone to make it look more sleek and less mismatched.  While it’s definately functional as is (see pics from earlier posts) it could definatley look more professional.  Because adults and students use the space, it will be nice to make it more professional looking.

With regards to the Makerspace progress, it’s been slow at best.  I made some table top signs to put in the library advertising the space as room to play.  The success came when two 8th grade boys discovered the “deconstruction zone” where they could dismantle old CPU’s, headphones, and monitors.  They were stunned that they could take it apart and leave it!   This, to date, has been my most successful Makerspace venture.  A 3D printer is on order, so that should draw some attention!
