This document outlines a professional development session for educators on maker spaces. It includes introductions of the presenters, tasks for participants to complete, discussions of various tools and materials used in maker spaces like Little Bits and Makey Makey. It also discusses aligning maker space activities with curriculum, learning to code using sites like Code.org, and having students share and assess their learning through blogs, visual presentations and digital badges. Emerging technologies that could be used are also highlighted.

Editor's Notes
- Participants choose from items on their table to create something which describes their personality. Showcase through introductions.
- How can Makerspaces serve as gathering points where makers connect to work on real and personally meaningful projects?
- Watch Caine’s Arcade Sort different activities into three different models Discuss how to determine student interest – showcase needs analysis Participants take quiz and go the coordinating station Introduce Parts, Purposes, & Complexities - a thinking routine that encourages makers to look closely at designed and made elements of an object

- Choose materials: Craft sticks, paper or plastic cups (easier), pipe cleaners (harder), wooden planks/dominoes, building blocks, a deck of cards, or biodegradable packing peanuts. Set the timer! Adding a 5-minute time constraint drastically transforms the way students approach the problem. Measure it!: Ensure students accurately measure the height of the tower. Plot on a bar graph to compare and find the range of heights achieved. Increase the challenge: Reduce the time, or have students complete blindfolded or with their eyes closed.
- Choose materials: Shoebox/cardboard box and Play-doh®, modeling clay, paper towel rolls with holes cut in the sides, or possibly LEGO® bricks! Test it!: Create mazes. Have students try each created maze and record their time. Determine who earned the fastest time and which maze was the most difficult based on average time! Increase the challenge: Create a 3-D maze or a maze in which the marble is not visible at times. The image with the cardboard tubes shows that the marble is only visible between the tubes
- Choose materials: Paper towel rolls, binder clips, rubber bands, plastic spoons, pipe cleaners, index paper, tape, paper clips, and craft sticks. Test it!: Have students launch 10 pompoms and record each distance. Add the three longest distances and/or find the average. Increase the challenge: Have a designated target, such as a hula hoop or paper cup, or paper cup towers!
