Setting Up

  • Table

    The maker space is often defined as an area or table in the classroom. It contains the supplies and tools needed to interact with the maker space and lesson. This space should be accessible to all. Considerations and DIY table plans are found below.

  • Materials and Tools

    After establishing an area for the maker space in your classroom, you will begin to acquire the materials and tools. These lists are the basics. Allow lessons and student interest to guide the selection of future materials and tools.

  • Mindset

    Adopting the ‘maker mindset’ is critical to the educator implementing the maker space. This section includes links to books and articles I found beneficial. I have also included descriptions of the materials and links to resources when accessible.
