When students visit the media center at our Montessori Green School, they are able to select books, complete research projects and produce media presentations. However, fully engaging and preparing students for the future requires more than a traditional model of media education. To prepare students for the future, we must give them tools and experience to become makers and creators as well. A Makerspace in the Media Center will allow students the time, space and resources they need to create upcycle projects from recycled materials as well as code and create new projects and media. The new space will allow students to work individually or in teams to design and construct LED light wearables, explore how to program and code a robot, and to develop new usable items (upcycling) from recycled materials such as shoe boxes, toilet paper cores, cereal boxes and plastic bottles. Many of these creations will also enhance their understanding of the curriculum by allowing them to build models of animal habitats or historical settings. Students may also use the space for self publishing or production projects like zines, comic books and lego movies. In the new space, students will only be limited by their own imagination. But an even more important objective that may be reached from this space is the efficacy and confidence my students will gain from planning, designing and constructing objects for use in home and in school and in their own learning and development.
