[CASL-L] Makerspace activities

[Loretta Sullivan]

Hi Kim,

I believe Follett has some pre-made kits that you can purchase if you
happen to use them as a vendor.  I don't know what your budget is or how
you can place orders, but you can probably create your own as well.  When
we had makerspace at our school, they had some time of circuitry
activities, painting, and computer coding type stations.  You can also use
legos or ask if there options within your school to collaborate with Home
Economics teachers (woodworking, shop, etc.).  A good person to contact is
Melissa Thom in West Hartford (Bristow)
http://blog.whps.org/bristowlibrarylearningcommons/.  I know she is doing
lots of good stuff...Good luck!


Respectfully,
