[CASL-L] Makerspace activities

[Melissa Thom]

Hello,

I am actively building a makerspace in my middle school library and trying
to share the idea of the Maker Mindset with both staff and students.  Check
out my blog for some of the activities students have been doing!

Also, there is a Makerspace roundtable that is sponsored by the CT Library
Consortium and the next meeting is Thursday, Nov. 17th from 11-1.
Following the roundtable, there is a Making Matters Summit from 2-8.  Both
great opportunities to learn more about makerspace and connect with others!

Hope this helps!
