Makerspace Monday: Day 1

Our first Makerspace Monday was a success! 6 students came to make stop motion animation films, though it kind of just turned into a Play-Doh tossing fest. Everything turned out fine. The kids didn't have really enough time to finish their projects, but I think in the future we may just have the Makerspace area open daily after school or at least weekly. We've been talking about what we want to do with it but this is our grand experiment!

Aardman studios, here we come!

There was a great variety of ages and interests even within this small of a group. The students were able to pair up without fuss. If they didn't want to make a movie, psh, they could paint! Play with Play-doh! Whatever!

And this is where the beauty starts. I'm so happy we pulled this month's Makerspace together. Hopefully next month we will have a full group of 10 but I'm happy with what we did in our small group.
