10 Strategies for Building a Maker Community
- 1. 10 STRATEGIES FOR MOVING FORWARD BUILDING A MAKER COMMUNITY
- 2. SET A TRAP: FEED’EM ▸ Create a reason for your colleagues to enter your maker space for reasons other than intentional making ▸ Offer coffee, pastries, a lunch if you’re feeling ambitious or generous. ▸ Pace maker items / completed projects out into the open for colleagues to see / touch / think with
- 3. SEEK OUT PINCH POINTS ▸ Teachers all have a lesson or unit project that makes them / students feel “Meh” or they are looking to revisit ▸ Offer making as an alternative approach to learning design ▸ Use the brainstorm cards & Pew Charts to engage in divergent & convergent thinking to develop a robust learning experience
- 4. CEDE SOME OWNERSHIP OF THE SPACE Johnny Appleseed
- 5. FOCUS ON THE END USER ▸ Your colleagues may be slow to jump on board, but many students will be itching to “make” ▸ Find ways to uncover their interests & conduct independent searches for potential opportunity to introduce kids to “things they don’t yet know they love” — Gary Stager ▸ You may have to offer it during alternative times: Before school, after school, indoor recess
- 6. INVITE THE PARENTS TO BECOME CO-MAKERS ▸ Create events for families to come in for an evening / afternoon of making ▸ Strive for a co-creator experience, and suggest the event is collaborative to avoid “drop & go” scenarios ▸ Parents can’t always advocate for something they haven’t experienced
- 7. TAP EXISTING EXPERTISE What are teachers making out of school that they could make in school?
- 8. OFFER TEACHER-ONLY EVENTS ▸ Teachers may need time to develop their maker identities ▸ Offer collaborative making experiences in low-risk environments ▸ Involve your building admins to help you strategize ▸ Meet them where they are / where they are interested ▸ Use the experience reflect & brainstorm future opportunities
- 9. STANDING UPDATES AT FACULTY MEETINGS ▸ Ask for 1-2 minutes for an update at the faculty meeting ▸ Come with a visual or an end product to move from the abstract to the tangible ▸ Offer an opportunity to make or collaborate ▸ Ideally ask for time near the beginning of the meeting. People are itching to go towards the end ▸ Brevity
- 10. PLAY THE LONG GAME. Everything Takes Time…
- 11. FIND THE OTHERS
