Makerspace Videos

Hi friends!

Here comes another Makerspace Monday!

Let’s check out some videos related to makerspaces! Of course, the first video that comes to mind is Caine’s Arcade, the story of the 9-year-old boy who created an arcade from cardboard in a garage. His imagination inspired millions, launching the Imagination Foundation and the Global Cardboard Challenge.

Here’s what the Global Cardboard Challenge looked like at Virginia Tech. Can you imagine a scene like this in your school library?

Although this next speaker is a public librarian, she gives a great explanation of why we should do more than check out books in our school libraries.

Why should we make room for makerspaces in our school libraries? Because our students need them. We can’t count on someone else to make time and space for creative making.

From PBS News Hour, how making stuff makes science more appealing to kids.

This last video provides a good overview of the maker movement.

Are you convinced yet? Are you ready to start making alongside your students?
