I host "MakerSpace Monday" during all lunches each Monday of the school year.  Students sign up online, stop in for a pass, then eat lunch in the MakerSpace!

One of the best things I've done with my makerspace is to make it student-directed, not teacher directed. Students select their own station, set their own goals, and monitor their own process to reach those goals. The makerspace activities aren't directly aligned with any specific standard or curriculum - the time in the makerspace is time for students to pursue interests above and beyond the curriculum. The teacher facilitates the process but does not guide it.

We did a morning maker club with lots of creative materials: little bits, makey makey, rainbow loom, string, duct tape, potholder looms, legos, origami paper, magnet blocks, and k'nex.  We also had a "breakerspace" with tools and old electronics to take apart and explore.

We use it as a cozy book nook. Here are some children from our PreK Counts class enjoying their library books! All the kids want to know what we're designing and building next!

Our K-4th graders built this igloo - all I did was hold the hot glue gun!

I have limited space but I try to have a variety of activities for my students to experiment with from building using recycled materials to experimenting with snap circuits.  All that matters is that students are having a blast while being creative and learning at the same time:)

I created a Nearpod activity where students share the skills they learn in Makerspaces. They also select their favorite activities and recommend items that should be purchased for their learning spaces. I use this data to share with admin and colleagues. This drives my purchases and budget requests.

Students will have the opportunity to share their opinions about makerspaces. We'll use this information to help guide the maker movement at Milton.

I think students proposing ideas and have choices about what they can work on helps they feel a sense of ownership over the space

I love to do monthly STEM challenges in my library.  Students are always excited to build or create something new.
