Using paper, tape, or any other material, hack the object. Make all the changes needed to transform the object into something that represents one of the key attributes of a makerspace: Creativity, Collaboration, Perseverance, etc. Bear in mind that the object HAS to change; it cannot have any connection with the original one. 3-. When you are done, take a picture of your creation and post it here: en-us 2019-03-16 21:26:21 UTC 2023-03-14 10:33:35 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lightdecrease.png zinggir https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/342052898 People “extending their learning” sharing their different talents and ideas = Maker Movement]]> 2019-03-16 22:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/342052898 sheborg https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/344502007 Do you recognize this material?  I repurposed this pretty candy wrapper into a mini-fan.]]> 2019-03-23 22:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/344502007 ayeshatahir1900 https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/344513202 _{Hack an object - Ayesha Tahir}
I have utilized my favorite mug that was chipped as a plant holder. I love gardening and like to recycle or DIY. ]]> 2019-03-24 02:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/344513202 https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/345064064 I created a probability wheel/spinner for my math class. I used a paper plate, push pin, eraser(to hold the push pin in on the other side) and paperclip. ]]> 2019-03-26 01:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/345064064 rfioretta https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/345311531 QM Workbook Graveyard = Computer Monitor Risers ]]> 2019-03-26 15:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/345311531 jmoray1 https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/345338736 I emptied my candy jar (usually full of jolly ranchers) and manipulated some paper clips to cross and intertwine in the middle.

I never thought I'd find a use for it that'd bring it out of that room, but with a bit of tinsel and a support hook, I now have a new hat rack.

We always have them lying around and my husband hates to throw them away. I thought of this hack in which you can use toilet paper rolls, make them decorative, then use them to sort and organize all the cables. I think this shows the attribute of creativity.]]> 2019-03-27 23:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/345928464 rbrotz1 https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/346188908 This is something a colleague and I created. We took an old gait trainer (used to help students stand and walk) stripped it down and connected PVC pipe and bungee cords. Students with that struggle with physical movements such as throwing pull on the long lever and it throws the ball for them. It is something that has been done before, but we modified for our students. This is one of the more creative things I have ever done with "hacking an object".  ]]> 2019-03-28 15:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/zinggir/g7o1i8uue80b/wish/346188908
