This week I added a Makerspace to our space.  I have been a huge Makerspace fan for many years now.  My experience has included creating a makerspace at the middle, high school and middle school level.  I firmly believe that a makerspace can be a very small area, as well as a large area.  The most important thing is how students are using the tools in your space.  Our current area consists of about ten different building toys/tools (Keva Planks, K'nex, Brain Flakes, Tynker Toys, Magnatiles, Plus Plus Blocks, Lego Duplo, Snap Circuits, Gears, and Legos with a Lego Wall). My students have really loved using this space.  I plan to add more as time goes on.  Some of these things were in the space prior to starting in the position.  Many of the other things I had purchased in the past second hand.  I allow students to use the materials after we are finished the lesson and they have checked out library books.  My district is even promoting it on their website!
