[CASL-L] Makerspace logistics

[Angela Antonelli]

Hi Emily,

Our younger students love Beebots and Cubetto for coding, and older
students really enjoy Ozobots and LittleBits. We also have a variety of
recycled materials and things like Strawbees for construction (we are a K-4
school). Oh, and rubber bands and LOTS of tape.

I also found that it's important to consider charging/outlet placement and
storage needs (clear bins are great).

We are still working out the details with regard to scheduling, but I
typically have some sort of Makerspace tie-in as a station.

Have fun!

Angela
