Update 6/26/2023: Shout out to Eliza at Lyndhurst Stem Club for Girls for recommending Speedway Motors’ All About Electronic Circuits for Kids as a Makerspace Essential! Thanks for the suggestion, Eliza. I hope you’ll send us a pic of your potato battery that we can post on this page!
Over the last couple of years, I have written quite a few posts about makerspaces and maker education. Even though I have a “Make!” Pinterest Board, I thought I should gather some of these posts in one place to make them easier to find. So, here are some of the “essentials” I’ve published so far.
- Worlds of Making by Laura Fleming
- Design Thinking
- Magnatiles
- littleBits
- Cardboard
- Legos
- Robots
- Robot Olympics
- Painting with Sphero
- Challenge Boxes
- Cubelets
- Electric Circuit Greeting Cards
- 12 Days of Makey Makey
- What I’ve Learned from Cardboard Challenge
- Hopscotch
- Scratch
- Design Squad
- DIY
- The Most Magnificent Thing
- 3D Printers in Elementary School (a guest post I did for Free Tech for Teachers)
- Random Building Challenges
- 5 Resources for Design Thinking Challenges
I will try to keep adding to this list as I post more resources!
