Last week I decided to ask our lunchtime Art Clubs what materials they would like to see in our ‘Makerspace’ (more about our Art Club below). The overwhelming answer was, you guessed it, SLIME. Nope! Not happening. On the other hand, there were some really great suggestions. Some students wanted knitting materials, stickers, buttons, and even a sewing machine. You can see some of these suggestions in the image below. I’ve been doing some research on the important items to have in a Makerspace. It seems like we’re on the right track but still have a long way to go. What do you love having in your Makerspace?<\/strong><\/p>\n

More about Art Club:<\/p>\n

The art room is open from 12:15PM – 1:00PM three days per week. Students are invited to come to the art room on a specific day according to their grade (for example, Grades 4-5 can come on Thursday). Students signed up for Art Club at the beginning of the year but can choose which weeks they would like to come and which weeks they would like to go out to recess. Students eat lunch in the art room. They are allowed to use any of the materials on our ‘Makerspace’\/materials shelf, our building cart, our fabric bins, and our recycled materials bins. There are a few items that students can only use if they create a sketch first of what they would like to create. Model Magic is one of those materials. At the end of Art Club, students can store whatever they are working on in our art room cubbies, or take their work home with them. This is the first year we have tried this and it gets better and better each week!<\/p>\n
