The supplies funded by this project will be used to create a space in our library where learning is collaborative, flexible, and is focused on the process of Making. While we have recently received a 3D printer, we are in need of supplies to supplement its use - plastic filament for printing, nozzle-cleaning kit for printer repairs, pliers for fine-tuning 3D prints, and glue sticks and Frog Tape for the printing surface. 3D doodling pens we have requested will add another option for creative design. We have requested Makey Makey kits for students to learn about interfacing and controlling a variety of computer apps in a fun way. The 4 books chosen are for makerspace reference sources: The Big Book of Makerspace Projects, 20 Makey Makey projects for the Evil Genius, 3D Doodler Project Book, and The Art of Tinkering. The overall goal of the makerspace will be to provide a place for project-based, hands-on learning, where tools will be readily available so students' ideas aren't limited because of inaccessibility of resources. Our new makerspace will provide a place for groups to create together, developing group work and communication skills: the activity table, mobile whiteboard, and power strip will be used for groups to design, brainstorm, and plug in all their tools. Pliers and wrenches will be used for tech-take-apart activities: students take apart old technology (radios, dvd players, etc) to see how they work, harvest them for parts, or create something new like artwork. Considered the makerspace-must-have, hot glue guns will be used for creating tech-sculptures from old parts, and participate in cardboard creation/building challenges. Finally, safety glasses will provide eye protection during all of the makerspace fun!
