I'm in charge of a new project. I've been asked to create a MakerSpace in our high school. So, I gathered information, asked the my internet pals for help, made some site visits, read the blogs of people who've been in my shoes, and started making plans. I formulated a list of things we'd want in our space. I paid special attention to details and organization in the sites that I was able to visit. I asked for advice. I asked what they would do differently if they could. Then I got busy. I created a presentation with all of my information. I created an ask. I went before the Lakewood Ranger Education Foundation and presented my work. They liked it. They said they wanted to support it. It's going to happen. We have the support. We have a strong team. We have a solid plan. I am ecstatic!
Attached here is our presentation. Inside you will find examples of other MakerSpaces, the mission of our school district and the foundation, and a working budget for our new space.
One of the visits stood out considerably. Case Western Reserve University's Think[box] is absolutley amazing. Here are some photos of this state of the art space.
Stay tuned for progress on our new space! The big check gets cut next week!
