Our goal for the MakerSpace Room was to increase student problem solving skills, critical thinking, creativity and collaborative teamwork. Additionally, the implementation of a MakerSpace Room supports S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) learning. Not only does S.T.E.A.M-focused education open students to new subjects, it also provides for integration of content and allows different learning …show more content…

All staff members have been trained and have the ability to facilitate student learning in our MakerSpace Room. Every student will be provided the opportunity to build, create, experiment, and problem solve in our MakerSpace Room. We want our students to find their genius! Currently, our MakerSpace Room houses sustainable materials such as technological tools, Spheros, robotic items, two Ipads, and various other creative hands-on materials. However, materials are limited, which restricts the amount of time and number of students that can participate at any given time. It is our goal to increase the number of items available for students to use. Our request for funds is to purchase the following items: 10 Chromebooks, 5 iPads, Makey Makey, Goldie Blox, Dot & Dash, Sphero, and Qubits. Makey Makey is an invention kit for the 21st century. This kit allows students to turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the internet. It is an Invention Kit that combines art, engineering, and everything in

This common space that is a combination of classic reference, information, technology, and social atmosphere has been designed to meet the needs of all faculty and students in a central location (Harland, 2011). Pamela Harland (2011) described her high school’s transformation into a learning commons as going from a simple library to a workshop environment where students could access Kindles to download books, borrow high quality digital cameras for recording video and taking pictures, type papers, research for projects and papers, receive help from librarians and technological staff, and just socialize. Harland (2011) suggested that changes can be simple at first. In her library’s transformation, allowing students to rearrange furniture to suit their needs, making supplies like glue sticks and scissors more accessible, removing the barrier-like checkout desk and replacing it with a friendlier kiosk made immense impacts on student usage of the space Harland’s (2011) experience is not unique in the fact that many universities and community colleges, like Plymouth State University’s Lamson Library which Harland toured prior to embarking on her own library’s transformation, began to make the switch

Consequently, newer technologies and their implementation in people’s lives allow for such an immediate response they give to the user of the technology. In “Project Classroom Makeover,” Davidson discusses how she had her class at Duke try to come up with a new inventive way of using the new technology of the time, an iPod. Davidson discussed this when she stated, “we would be giving out free iPods to every member of the entering first-year class, there were no conditions. We simply asked students to dream up learning applications […] and we invited them to pitch their ideas to the faculty” (49). Giving these students free range on the application of the devices for an educational purpose, it provided them an environment where they can use their individual strengths to solve a problem at hand.

The diversity of student backgrounds, abilities and learning styles makes each person unique in the way he or she reacts to information. The intersection of diverse student backgrounds and active learning needs a comfortable, positive environment in which to take root. Dr. King continues by explaining, “Education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society.

Most would agree that, in early stages of life, art is a detrimental and necessary part of any child’s early development and education. In fact, Pre-K through third grade’s education curriculum is usually centered around promoting early creativity and a fondness for learning. Kids learn math by counting colorful pieces of bricks.
