Hello! 

Do you all have a makerspace websites that students and teachers can use to find instructions and information about the space? Looking to build one out and looking for inspiration.  

Thanks, 
Lauren

Hello Lauren,

 

You can find lots of free resources at our website k12maker.mit.edu.  We have guides to designing a space and choosing tools, training guides students, resources for teachers trying to make the case for Maker.

We also offer Professional Development for teachers (not free but not very expensive).  See below for our Fall programs recently announced.

Let me know if you can’t find something you’re looking for, or if you’d like to chat.  Reach me and the team at k12m...@mit.edu

Last days to register for Master Making in the Classroom (MMC)

MMC is a 4-day series of workshops spaced over 10 weeks in the Fall, ideal for Maker leaders, STEM coaches, and other educators who want to design and lead creative, meaningful, project-based learning experiences that integrate Maker tools, promote 21st century skills, and increase student awareness of STEM pathways.  MMC is an inexpensive way to get Maker-coaching and support over an entire semester. Join us remotely or on campus at MIT.

Master Making in the Classroom starts September 28 - See the MMC schedule and register

 

Register now for Maker Tools Skills workshops

Spend a day at one of our Maker Tools Skills workshops  and come away with starter projects, resources, and the confidence to carry out projects in your classroom. Beginners welcome. This Fall we offer:

  • Laser Cutters, Vinyl Cutters, and 2D Modeling
  • Electronics for Makers
  • Intro to Arduino
  • 3D Modeling and Printing
  • Making with Music - Virtual Sound Studio

 

Who we are: The mission of the K-12 Maker team is to help K-12 classroom educators create and deliver fun, enriching Maker experiences to their students - no matter what subject they teach.  Building upon our experiences as K-12 teachers, we work directly with other educators to collect and co-design resources.  Our team is part of the MIT Edgerton Center, a home for experiential learning at MIT for decades, the Edgerton Center offers classes and resources in engineering and imaging, and supports student engineering clubs and teams, in addition to offering a year-round K-12 program. We design, create, and teach at the MIT Edgerton Center Student Project Lab, a working Makerspace filled with MIT students, staff, and community as well as a wide variety of prototyping/Maker tools and materials. 

 

Cheers!

 

Diane
