Makerspaces are wonderful interactive STEAM learning centers and having one in a central space like the library provides access to every student in our school. As the campus' new librarian, I was so excited to begin the Makerspace project for our campus. As things currently stand, a traditional Makerspace is not going to cut it in order to serve all of our students (both face-to-face and remote) while meeting the current safety standards.
With these materials, our students can still experience the library Makerspace safely whether face-to-face or remote. By focusing on activities with disposable, household supplies, remote students can follow along with the activity from home and face-to-face students can build without supplies changing hands. The storage bins can be used to organize materials in advance and I can sanitize them between classroom visits.
Our students would love the opportunity to step away from a device to build with their hands. I've already lined up several books to introduce our upcoming activities and can't wait to get started with your help!
