The benefits of educational makerspaces are many and varied. While they do not come without their challenges, makerspaces can have a significant impact on student learning and development. With all the loads of technology, arts and crafts supplies and other tools in our makerspaces, finding a cohesive way to organize everything is essential.
One great thing about a makerspace is that it can be filled with all sorts of materials. One persons waste can become a catalyst for another's creativity. Unfortunately, it is also easy for the space to become a dumping ground, rendering it useless. The key to avoiding this pitfall is organization.
With the storage bins we are requesting, I plan to create a highly organized creative space. In this space students will be able to re-purpose materials in order to turn ideas into inventive projects.
