Participate and share: Poster 
After leaving the presentation, participants will know the differences between Playkerspace and Makerspace and how to successfully use both to engage all learners. Participants will walk away with a website link that will house practical tips and tricks to run their own effective Makerspace and Playkerspace program along with curriculum ties in’s, ready to print Makerspace Centers, Classroom Passes, and video examples. Throughout the presentation share-out (Padlet and Responster) breaks will offered to hear ideas from the participants on how they plan on incorporating Playkerspace and Makerspace. Feedback from the Padlet and Responster will show us our evidence of success. If we have participants sharing how Playkerspace and Makerspace will be used in their spaces along with curriculum ties in’s and ideas, then we know our presentation was successful.
