makerspace facilitator job descriptions

[Liz Whitewolf]

Hello all. I am looking for some inspiration in a job description for a "Makerspace Integration Specialist," for a school I am currently working with. Can anybody share a link to a description or even message me what your position's job description looks like?

Thanks!

[Bill Behrend]

Hi Liz

I have been playing around with some AI stuff.  I typed your question into the perplexity AI tool and this is what it gave me

https://www.perplexity.ai/?s=c&uuid=6e37b969-d182-4645-b504-492b11efa337

Its not perfect, but having some fun with it

Hope it helps, and feel free to share

Thanks, all. This is very helpful. It seems that I am going to have to lean towards the AI developing my next job descriptions, what an amazing resource!

I’m looking for any ideas for a Calc-BC hands-on project after I give the AP exam. Our schedule allows for a few weeks after the AP and I would love to incorporate a project involving our makerspace (either 3D-printing or laser cutting). Does anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks,

Lani Keller

Robot battles!  Before we changed our schedule to finish school the week after our AP tests, I used to run a miniature robotics competition.  I set up an arena and we made cheap robots akin to the old-school MIT 2.70 competition.  Nowadays you might even be able to do it wirelessly using phones to control the robots.

You can have students draw surfaces of revolution in GeoGebra 6 or using the 3D grapher only component of GeoGebra and then export the files as .stl (solid didn't work well when I tried) which should be 3D printable.  They will have to design carefully to avoid slopes less than 45° from horizontal (or print with supports).  Haven't tried this to see how good the prints come out, but in principle it's possible.  The syntax is surface(x,y(x)*cos(t),y(x)*sin(t),x,xmin,xmax,t,0,2pi) where you replace y(x) with an actual function of x and xmin, xmax with numerical values.  

I've used OpenSCAD to print slices to show that for solids of revolution (haven't tried setting up shell method yet).  That requires more thought, but if your interested, I can supply a template file that should shorten the learning curve some.  

The slicing software usually gives a filament amount in some form that could be converted to volume with decent accuracy to compare to a calculation of volume.  (But that would only work if you print a solid object with 100% infill.  I wouldn't print that way, but looking at the value in the slicer could be a fun activity.)

You can check out the many projects in our book, Make:Calculus. Available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Make-Calculus-prints-coding-electronics/dp/168045739X/) or the Maker Shed (https://www.makershed.com/products/make-calculus-print). Also available in screen-reader-optimized PDF at the Maker Shed if you have any visually impaired students!

There is an open-source repo of OpenSCAD models for our Make:Calculus book as well (info earlier in this thread), with solids of revolution models.  Photo of example attached.

Lani,

I did a session with Arduinos and using shift register chips to create a simple set of 8 LEDs to show counting to from 1 - 256 in binary a few years back.  Several of the kids had that "aha" moment as it went - although for many of them it was a matter of simply following the directions.  This isn't quite it - but very close.  We took two to three periods to do it.  Figuring out C++ was entertaining too.
