The document describes Jan Abernethy's Makers' Club, which was created in 2017. It provides various resources for starting a Makers' Club, including an introduction video, donation suggestions, sample surveys to assess student interests, a promotional video, and links to example club activities and projects. Suggestions are made for obtaining grant funding and additional resources to stock and support the Makerspace. The goal is to provide students with opportunities to collaborate on hands-on projects using materials like Legos, building supplies, and a 3D printer. A special project involved creating a Braille Rubik's Cube for a visually impaired child.
