In just three short weeks back at school, our makerspace has become one of the most happening places, especially with our seventh grade students. Despite the fact that we still only have a few stations available for students, they have really embraced the makerspace concept, and I have been amazed at how quickly some of these students are innovating and creating all on their own. To document our progress for students and the community, we created a separate makerspace blog where you will see student examples, successes, failures, new items, and personal thoughts on our journey as we transform our school culture and the physical library space. Please follow us at
http://fxstudioandmakingms.blogspot.com/ to see our dynamic DPMS students in action. We welcome your feedback!
Some of my favorite success stories from this past are posted in the videos below. The first video showcases how a group of seventh grade boys was able to create a motorized Segway by connecting the littleBits. In the second video, view the results of a seventh grade group's first attempt at making a stop motion animation film.
We look forward to sharing our makerspace journey with you as more and more tools get added during the upcoming weeks.
