Take those 5 kiddos each day for a couple of weeks, 20 min a day or like an hour on "Fun Friday". Once you have the children going back with excitement and sharing about it...you'll likely have many more interested!]]> 2018-03-09 16:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rosiepaint/emr5ln77zh66/wish/240221997 Accessibility https://padlet.com/rosiepaint/emr5ln77zh66/wish/240222416 Perhaps an extra curricular activity, before or after school;,  with a short-term rotation of maker space projects and rotation of students who want to tinker with that particular type of project.  
I'd love to see it being somehow incorporated into the regular school day. Unsure of how that could look.  ]]> 2018-03-09 16:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rosiepaint/emr5ln77zh66/wish/240222416 Funding https://padlet.com/rosiepaint/emr5ln77zh66/wish/240222417 I would definitely ask for fund, but have a specific project in mind.]]> 2018-03-09 16:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rosiepaint/emr5ln77zh66/wish/240222417 Use volunteers? https://padlet.com/rosiepaint/emr5ln77zh66/wish/240222426 Could you have some of your parent volunteers with all the clearances help supervise or work with students in the maker space?  I agree with starting small is a good idea.   I also think that a club that rotates short-term membership might be a good way to get started.

I would also have some loose legos for exploration in there as well. ]]> 2018-03-09 16:03:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rosiepaint/emr5ln77zh66/wish/240222747
