What's your starter supply list for tech/robotics makerspace?

[Morgan Snyder]

Hi maker educators!

I used to teach at the Nueva School's I-Lab and recently moved back home to Philadelphia. I'm in the early stages of building out a tech and robotics curriculum for a small alternative high school here (credit recovery program). 

Any teachers or shop managers here willing to share advice on how to set up and supply the space in the first year?

Would *love* to hear your list of "must-have" tools and materials, or your favorite shop organization supplies. I also welcome pictures of how you organize your space, especially electronics/robotics supplies! 

We have quite a bit of disorganized donated equipment - everything from arduino kits to power tools - but it's not a complete set of materials or organized in a way students can use yet.

Fortunately we don't start school for a month in Philly :)

Thanks for your help!

Hi Morgan,

I just did a quick pass through the photo repo to pull together a (non-exhaustive) collection of makespaces that I have designed, built, or visited: https://photos.app.goo.gl/zeS7HLGTYPpv8EMk6

I'd be happy to help if there's something I can do from here at Brightworks/Tinkering School in SF :-)
