[CASL-L] Maker Spaces

[Christina O'Neill]

I am in an elementary school and my students favorite things are to take
apart old electronics--CPUs, coffee makers, phones, anything..to create
with legos, do paper engineering challenges, and use electronic snap
circuits.

Recently I purchased small motors and battery holders.  We are going to
build drawbots first and see what else they can make.

I did not spend a lot of money to get started.  Ask for donations such as
duct tape, paper towel rolls, craft supplies, old electronics, newspaper,
etc.  Your student interests will drive your requests and purchases.

Have fun!
Christina
