#wemake19 We should also thank @Nikki46821238 for her assistance! Which made this chat AWESOME

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

Congratulations @wilkja67 !!! #wemake19

@MrJarrell22 Q10 It was great hearing everyone's opinions regarding the creation of a Maker Day. It gives me inspiration for my blog post that I am still creating! #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@tonnjp96 Q9 For the students to become engaged in the design and tinkering process and for the adults to see the value that making has in education. Maybe inspire teachers to integrate it in their lessons #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@blau_dan This is a good point, I did not think of that. Maybe the event could be structured in that parents do not have an opportunity to help the students and they get to observe? #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@MrJarrell22 Q8 I think it would be a great opportunity for parents to be involved in their child's learning and seeing what their children are capable of! It would also help to have the extra assistance for organizing and ensuring the event is running smoothly #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@tonnjp96 Q7 By providing students with hands on opportunities to create and collaborate with others, a Maker Day would align with my technology plan! #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@MrJarrell22 Q6 Due to how new the concept would be, I think it would be best to focus on just middle school grade level. That way it can be executed without being overwhelming and with a stronger concept #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@tonnjp96 Q5 I am not entirely sure. With the proper presentation I am sure they would to some extent. If not, I am sure those grants and sponsorship we researched would come in handy! #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@MrJarrell22 Q4 I think the Maker Day would be bigger and better with the more members of faculty involved. It would be great to include parents too #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@tonnjp96 Q3 Besides the makerspace materials, I think that there are a lot of dedicated staff that would be happy to help #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@AWannermeyer At what grade level to pre engineering classes start? That sounds interesting #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@MrJarrell22 Q2 We have a cart full of makerspace materials in our library. The librarian is always eager to use it, but many teachers do not take advantage of it #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@jessica_shelp @msharvanhistor1 @tonnjp96 I second that #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@tonnjp96 Q1 I love catching up on sewing projects or video games that I usually do not have time for throughout the week! #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@TaylorDeMarco2 Q10 I enjoyed hearing other's thoughts on design thinking process. It inspires me to integrate it in my classes, especially my self-contained class! #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@MrJarrell22 Agreed! I feel like many students do not get this opportunity in the classroom enough #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@cudds00 Q9 Design thinking inspires creativity, making activities and problems more fluid. This allows for a variety of students with different skills/needs to approach the problem and tinker in their own way #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@mcgill206 Q8 I think that Throwies are accessible to a wide variety of students. Plus, they are super fun to use so they should remain engaged! #wemake19

[Hope Schaumburg @hsch4235]

@TaylorDeMarco2 Q7 I find that I forget what it is like to be in 7th grade. Keeping this mind, allowing you to practice empathy with your students not only serves as a positive model for them, but will help reassure your students and persevere #wemake19
