W21 – How to Make a Makerspace for Kids

Thursday, April 10, 2014
9:00 AM – 4:30 PM
, Makerspace Leader, MakerKids

Ever wanted to run maker activities at your library? These activity workshops are designed to be run at your own spaces, and come with teaching materials to show you how! Activities are designed to be 15 to 30 minutes long to allow for a maximum number of participants. They serve as introductions to their respective topics, with an emphasis on how to prepare for and teach them. Immerse yourself in the makerspace mentality and maker spirit and learn how to present workshops including Arduino Robots designed to demonstrate an electronics class in action; 3D Printing—the basics, different printers and necessary software; Stop-motion Animation designed to show how a combination of shop skills and hightech equipment can be used, including iPads with inexpensive stop-motion animation software to film masterpieces; HTML & CSS—since they are included in YouTube, Wikipedia, and the websites we click on every single day. Using Mozilla Thimble, the workshop illustrates how kids can learn HTML and CSS basics by hacking pre-existing text, links, images, and videos on various templates and then use their skills to create their very own websites from scratch. Video Game Programming with Scratch combines the power of play with basic design and programming skills to make video games! Learning by doing is definitely part of this workshop!
