MakerSpace Monday

Today in Mrs. Anderson's 3rd grade class, I set about introducing the Maker Space cart in a different way. Instead of simply allow students to explore the different materials (although I do still see value in that) I gave the class a challenge! The challenge was to create something, using the Maker Space tool of your choosing, that will help you in school.  Check out some of the creations that came from today's challenge!

Encouragement Folder
She is going to use this to help her stay motivated and focused at school. Notes and other encouraging items will be put inside and she'll take them out on days she needs a pick me up!

Fidget Spinners 

These kids decided to make their own and they were quite successful.

Desk Cleaner

Many kids identified messy desks as a problem they needed to solve. Here are a few of the innovative desk cleaners that were created!

      

Alarm Clock
Using LittleBits to create an alarm, to wake you up in case you fall asleep in class 😆
