The First Steps in Our Makerspace Journey

This is your mission should you choose to accept it...  So, here we are three weeks after FAME conference and I am embarking on my Maker Space journey.  According to the road map I have outlined, it will be an epic quest and it will take the hands of many courageous helpers along the way.

Step 1:  Identify spaces that can be makerspaces.

Step 2:  Planning:  What do we have!  What can we do!

Zone 1:  The Game Zone
Einstein said "Play is the highest form of research."  It is with that in mind that we plan our Game play area.  We are hoping to create a LEGO corner, a WII setup, at least 4 Minecraft computers, and of course, a wall full of every board and strategy game we can get.

The LEGO people are standing watch over the ports that will be used for our Minecraft zone.

Zone 2:  A Little Bit of Sewing and something else
As you can see, we have no shortage of space.  Zone 2 will definitely be one of our messy discovery and craft areas.

Little Bits Circuitry Area--unknown and little scary for me, but I am excited to try them.
Picture
Sewing area--Sewing is a skill that crosses cultural boundaries and we hope that this area will help build ties with the community.

The lightbox--planning to put in a light table--like the ones used by Tattoo artists for producing tattoos. Don't worry folks--no needles allowed.

More to come in a future post
