Description

It's not unusual to find MakerSpaces popping up on several school campuses as a way to offer students hands on learning opportunities.  But does 'making' have to be confined to the MakerSpace for only a few classes per week? What would happen if ALL educators adopted a 'maker' mindset, and provided hands on opportunities that spanned all classrooms, subjects and learners?  My guest and MakerSpace Founder Mark Loundy discusses how to adopt this mindset, and the transformations we can see in schools as a result. We learn how to:  Develop project-based experiences that allow for 'making' across all subjects  Help the MakerSpace be accessible to all parts of the school depending on the learning experience  Build the WHY for the MakerSpace before the HOW Develop a school culture that values flexibility, innovation and tinkering Transition from 'MakerSpace' to 'MakerMindset'  Get in touch with Mark: LinkedIn, Twitter (@markloundy), Facebook, Website.  Story of the 'CREATE' MakerSpace: https://k5create.blogspot.com/p/the-story-of-create.html Apply for the PBL Collab and Grab Monthly Forums: https://forms.gle/2vzPknQbeuzTE3h47  Mark's Bio: Mark Loundy is a former journalist, photographer and social media pioneer. As an online community manager at GeoCities at the turn of the century, he helped build the foundations of what we now call social media. He brings all of those skills to education as an innovative instructional technology specialist in Silicon Valley. He is a three-time Ignited Fellow, working at Lockheed Martin on classified military communications satellites and at Meta (Facebook,) exploring global supply chain issues. He founded and operates the first makerspace in the Cupertino Union School District and lead both the video production team and after-school tech team. The tech team created a coding language to operate a human "computer" in a virtual reality environment.
