Session description

I will share a cohesive Lower School cardboard curriculum for a stand-alone MakerSpace Lab, complete with digital process journals for a blended approach as students work through the engineering design process. Choice, voice, and video are used to develop communication skills as students show and tell about their work.

Outcomes

Participants will learn how to implement a cohesive MakerSpace cardboard curriculum as a stand-alone lab or within a classroom, utilizing technology to have students plan and respond to the challenge using a digital journal with multimedia options. This can be done in Seesaw, Book Creator, Keynote, Pages, Adobe Express, or any app with multimedia journal-building capabilities. While simple tools rule, participants will also learn about a variety of cool tools to consider or ask for through wish lists or grants.
