Want to tinker with new technology at your library but don’t quite know where to start? The Maker Space Petting Zoo provides a 30 minutes overview of maker culture in libraries, followed by an hour of hands on experience with a variety of maker technology, including robots. You’ll complete this session with some hands-on experience that you can take back to your library, along with project ideas, to develop your own makerspace.

- 3D printers! These can range up to $3000 and over, although cheaper ones are on the market now– definitely an investment!
- Monroe County PL Level Up is an all ages space that includes a video production studio with green screen, two audio production studios, and digital creativity workstations for design, coding, and editing. Level Up is a place for video and music production, graphic and web design, and coding and game creation. Other libraries: Indianapolis Tippacanoe
- The Association for Library Service to Children worked with LEGO Systems, Inc. to bring Junior Maker Spaces to libraries across the country. The project focused on giving children ages 4 to 6 areas to make and create in their local libraries. Although the project has concluded, you may still use the resources below to support Junior Maker Spaces in your library using LEGO® bricks from your library's collection. http://www.ala.org/alsc/junior-maker-space

- Sphero Ollie – around $70 Sphero Sprk – around $100
- Sphero Ollie – around $70 App-enabled racing robot. (more than one would be better for this, or timed tracks). Can also do tricks.
- Sphero Sprk – around $100 App enabled. Uses coding
- 6 cubelet kit we have was around $160, plus the Bluetooth cube was another $60. Robotic blocks, modular robotics
- Lego WeDo – Core Set with Getting Started software - $160 Can introduce young kids to robotics and block coding Easier than mindstorms
- Hour of Code – Code.org Mini tutorials walk you or the kids through simple coding! The ones I did utilized a Scratch/Tickle puzzle-piece style of coding. GREAT because you are actually using code to play a game! I played the Star Wars game and it walked me through having BB8 collect scrap metal.
- If coding with text seems too daunting at first, try Scratch, a visual drag-and-drop programming language from MIT’s Media Lab and Lifelong Kindergarten project. By assembling interlocking puzzle pieces of code, you can build animations, programs, and games that rival anything coded by hand.
- Drag and drop programming in app form – controls Sphero, robots, arduino circuits

- One of the biggest questions I’ve gotten in doing this training is, these robots are all great, but how do we use them in programs? ----------------- LSTA info For projects, we always tell applicants to avoid writing “wishlists,” and instead form projects that have a measurable impact on the participants. For example, if one library applied for a grant to "build a makerspace,” and another applied for a grant to “build a makerspace AND offer STEM programming in conjunction with a local Boys and Girls club,” the one with the planned programming would be more likely to get the grant. We want to see evidence the equipment will be used and that the community has a need for it. They are welcome to contact me at any point in the planning process.

- Collaboration with Instructables.com and the American Library Association. Great database of IDEAS! Can search if you have a search term/topic/activity in mind, or you can narrow your options by using the search limiters on the left side of the page (tools & space, age level, cost, time).
- Hagerstown Jefferson Public Library is a designated Maker Camp location; 6 week curriculumn (doesn’t necessarily correspond with Summer Reading but they make it work.) Applied to be a Campsite and were accepted; were sent a kit with some great supplies in it (around $300 value). They run their own programs but use the site/curriculumn for inspiration. https://makercamp.com/
