#StuCentClass A1 I feel like they are STEAM because drawing blueprints and even doodling are art which mingles with everything else.

ChrisQuinn64 Jul 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Makerspaces can truly embrace The Arts...drama, dance, visual arts, music! #StuCentClass

iteachsprouts Jul 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Stacy, 1st Grade, FL. Maker space is great for my Ss because I'm finding that my Ss struggle w/creative and open-ended tasks. #StuCentClass

megan_chriss Jul 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: STEAM all the way. Without the creative component the maker space would be a lot of parts minus the Ss individual style #StuCentClass

mcbride_edutech Jul 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Makerspaces can be both. I use my makerspace heavily. We do art, play-doh models, graphic design programs for presenting #stucentclass

BretMistergesl Jul 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Always been partial to STEAM in general as an artist-so yes-the creative aspect allows for all types of thinking to take place #stucentclass

#StuCentClass These RV carts are mobile and easy accessible for my students and absolutely free- excess at our district warehouse.

megan_chriss Jul 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A2: In my old position I had a mobile makerspace. While it was used a permanent fixture is necessary for success. #StuCentClass

Hahne_KingEle Jul 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 Maker spaces can incorporate both stem and steam. Depends on the purpose of what the student wants to accomplish. #stucentclass

iteachsprouts Jul 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT

#stucentclass Q3 & 4 up in a minute or two....

Hahne_KingEle Jul 21 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Hey @hellums_lindsey #StuCentClass chat is happening now! all about #makerspace. Join or check the hashtag later! Great ideas happening!

seanrussell311 Jul 21 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1. I think it depends on the what the expected outcome that the makerspace is being used for. #stucentclass

ChrisQuinn64 Jul 21 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: Why not have your entire classroom become a makerspace? Creative freedom is truly valued & encouraged in this environment. #stucentclass

iteachsprouts Jul 21 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: I would use either based on space. 🍀I have space for a station and Ss know they can include materials from the room. #StuCentClass

#StuCentClass I love the carts. They make it so easy.

#StuCentClass A3 Our makerspace is low-tech, recyclables, art supplies, clay & play-doh and lots of donations.

BretMistergesl Jul 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2-I did do it! haha It makes it more versatile and moldable to what you need for your students #stucentclass

ChouinardJahant - Moderator Jul 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

#StuCentClass Some people have limited space so the carts work really well and students love that they can move them around the room.

In reply to @nsulla

mcbride_edutech Jul 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: That would be a great idea, I never thought of that. I used 2 carts to store my Ss creations I moved classrooms, downsized #stucentclass

R_CILR Jul 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Our school markerspace, now in our library, began in my class & it was STEAM, small, focused on recycle vs single use 👾 #StuCentClass

iteachsprouts Jul 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A3: Some favorites are toilet paper tubes, tape, markers, marbles. Low cost. High engagement. #StuCentClass

Hahne_KingEle Jul 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A3 low tech with what you have in your classroom. Clay, paint, Manipulatives, paper, scraps. #stucentclass

A4. Organization is key. Keep it simple. Turn it over to the PTA to maintain donations and upkeep. #stucentclass

#StuCentClass A5 I start with the basic framework in place so they see they have a place to create & then I let them build and add to it
