If you’re a #makerspace #librarian at #alaac24 stop by the Maker Pavilion and pick up a free Spark - see you this weekend in San Diego!

[FutureMakers @futuremakerkids]

A sneak peek at a new Spark… Scene Machines!

Inspired by the Automata collection at Baltimore’s @TheAVAM , we’re investigating ways anyone can create simple cardboard automata without needing special tools or materials.

Watch this space - more coming soon!

[FutureMakers @futuremakerkids]

We’re partnering with the @marylandzoo this summer to design and test a special Spark about creatures, movement, locomotion, and play - for people >and< animals in the care of the zoo.

Watch this space - more to be shared soon!

Proud to be part of @arts4learningmd and be able to work with @PrincipalShepp ‘s 5th graders at George Washington Elementary - activating #STEAM mindsets + #playfulengineering through #drawbots @BaltCitySchools @mdartscouncil

[FutureMakers @futuremakerkids]

Drawbots at the @thecjrschool Science Fair & Engineering Night!

#playfulengineering mindsets & positive family engagement demonstrates deep commitment to learners & caregivers growing together.

Clicker presses go BONK, lasers go PEW PEW PEW.

Just a little bit of making Sparks for every Maker Monday.

Check out which Sparks these become part of @ link in bio.

Summer programs + hands-on math needs learning made to keep! PK-3 learners build, rebuild & take home Straw Structures for further playful engineering.

Visit https://t.co/xaBI2JHqi4 to bring Straw Structures to your learners:

A huge thank you to the @MDScienceCenter and @futuremakerkids for engaging our OMES families in a fun Family Science Night! @OwingsMillsES @canstafford

[Candice Stafford @canstafford]

Such a great evening w/ @OwingsMillsES families, staff, & the @MDScienceCenter! First students explored concepts of balance, static electricity, effects of pollution, physical vs chemical properties, & viscosity. Then dinner from @FirehouseSubs & STEM kits from @futuremakerkids!
