When The University of North Carolina’s School of Education decided to design an educational makerspace to instruct pre-service teachers on creating project-based lessons for K-12 students using new technologies, there were few such spaces from which to learn. There were lots of questions... How should we set up? What equipment will be necessary, beneficial, or just fluff? What makes an educational makerspace distinct from a community or academic makerspace? How can we best share our and our students’ successes? The SELF (Student Education Learning Factory) Design Studio, opened in October 2014. This session discusses what we learned in the past year regarding furnishing, organizing, and equipping the makerspace. Learn how to set up a successful educational makerspace! (In this session we will not discuss construction or budgets.)
