With choice the teacher gains the interest of the student.

Students should have a choice of what projects to investigate as well as materials to use. This is how they become fully engaged.

Yes. Without choice students engagement will suffer.

Morse-  i always say FAIL should stand for First Attempt In Learning

Flournoy - Failure makes me think of the quote about the lightbulbs. Nothing worth creating was ever created the first time.

# data[].attributes.body
Students should choose what they want to use or create. This allows them to appreciate more what they are doing.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes whenever possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes - it’s incredible to see what friends or families can collect over a couple week time!  Reduce-Reuse-Recycle.  Anne

Morse-  allowing students to see their work displayed is key for keeping them motivated

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I think students are quicker to buy in when given choices.

# data[].attributes.body
Our students need to learn that failing to do something, just means to try again.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Up-cycle things

# data[].attributes.body
We learn from our mistakes

# data[].attributes.body
Students are more invested in their learning when they have a choice and their product reflects their interests

# data[].attributes.body
Yes! You can use anything in a MakerSpace and there are so many different ways (cheap) to start it up in your school.

Christy- students learn from each other. They learn to work together and share ideas. Students need opportunities to share and collaborate. Collaboration adds to the creative process.

Lots of tape!!!! All kinds!!!!! The products were incredible when I tried it! Anne

# data[].attributes.body
While teamwork is great and there are plenty of MakerSpace items can be easily created as a group, individual makers is great as well! It can go either way.

Working on this myself! Important to share that with students.

I believe that students need to see their teachers mistakes and how they react and change. Building a safe community for mistakes and corrections.

This will help them learn to know each other and to learn communication skills.

Students will be more enthusiastic about their products and the process if they have a choice and if it relates to their interests

# data[].attributes.body
That sentence is key! Becoming frustrated means you are processing what is going wrong and what is going right. It doesn’t mean students are throwing fits, it just allows them to develop their own thinking and processing to create.

Flournoy - Students love to show what they know. They will be more invested in the final product if they are going to show it to everyone.

Melissa Kennedy
Process over product is the key. A makerspace is not a space!

# data[].attributes.body
I always show my students examples of how many famous inventors, authors, and business leaders didn't get things 100% perfect the first time. Just like we edit writing many many times we can keep changing our makerspace products.

# data[].attributes.body
Use mindfulness to help them to release their frustrations.

Flournoy - youtube is the google option for visual learners. I myself use it when I want to create a new recipe. It's an amazing tool!
