Makerspaces


So I tried doing Makerspaces in my school library during the last month of school. What a fun time we had! Starting from the upper left hand corner and spiraling clockwise...we had children with drawing books and sketchpads...children assembling a flashlight 
(it worked!)...origami and paper airplanes...puppets...building things with plastic cups...putting together the human body...flying paper airplanes...and building things with Legos.

      It was so engaging that I decided to leave the Makerspaces up for summer library.

    I've never heard of Makerspacers, but it looks great fun. It's lovely to see stuff like this, and look fondly on moments I can remember from my own childhood. I can assure you that you are creating memories for these kids that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

    It looks like the kids were having fun besides learning, the best way.

    Talk about a lot of fun. And now I want to go out and buy more solo cups. My boys would love that!

    I am still trying to get the university to buy into Makerspaces. Not successful as of yet.

    I'm slow to the party and just heard about Makerspaces for the first time about two weeks ago. Glad you had fun!

    Makerspaces is new to me too. How did that name come about? Looks as if the kids enjoyed themselves!

    In a couple weeks, I'll get to have similar fun. I'm teaching a crafty writers club. We'll make all kinds of crafts that use words. :-)
