- 5. The Makerspace Playbook describes the overall goals and concept of makerspace: “... expect to build your Makerspace users' literacy in design, science, technology, engineering, art, and math. . . .” Makerspaces share some aspects of the shop class, home economics class, the art studio and science lab. In effect, a Makerspace is a physical mashup of these different places that allows projects to integrate these different kinds of skills.
- 6. Everyone is a MAKER According the Makerspace Playbook: “Makerspaces serve as gathering points where communities of new and experienced makers connect to work on real and personally meaningful projects, informed by helpful mentors and expertise, using new technologies and traditional tools.” According to the Deloitte Center for the Edge “The maker movement is an important manifestation of the economic landscape to come.” Photo: NASA / Bill Ingals
- 7. aspects of making... ● constructionist learning (Seymour Papert) - learning through the act of construction ● tinkering ● experimenting and failing ● collaboration and cross pollination ● open exchange of ideas ● personal fabrication photos: Scott Beale

- 19. bitmaps / raster images are made of pixels 3D objects are made of vectors (points) and paths
- 20. Steps: ● In Inkscape → File→Import ● Make sure image is selected → Path → Trace Bitmap ● Use brightness cutoff→ colors = 2 ● File → Save As → Plain SVG ● For text → Use Text tool → ● Save as a .png ● Import the .png file and follow steps above
- 21. Steps: In Tinkercad Import → File → Choose File ● Choose .svg file ● When done – click on Download for 3D Printing – Save .stl file (downloads with a funny name) ● Or click Order a 3D Print and use a service

Editor's Notes
- Speaking: ALL Beth will welcome and intro as DE librarians and liaison to LIS dep Ask them for introductions: name, school/library/etc, what they hope for today (write this on parking lot/board)
- Speaking: Beth/ALL! (jump in everyone after I ask the question) How many people have ever made something (music, art, cookies, etc)? How many people have made something according to a plan or kit, but during that process you wanted to change or enhance it?
- Speaking: Brown How many people have ever made something (music, art, cookies, etc)? How many people have made something according to a plan or kit, but during that process you wanted to change or enhance it?
- Speaking: Beth
- Speaking: Beth/Michelle Beth -- Simply put, a makerspace is a place where people come together to make stuff - all kinds of stuff, in a community (IMPORTANT COMMUNITY) Michelle -- According to the Makerspace Playbook (see link in references and on our Make tab), and a lot of people see it this way, making is gateway to a deeper engagement in science and engineering and also art and design.
- Speaking: Michelle Something else important - Everyone is a Maker Makerspaces and Making are growing. This last June the White House held a Maker Faire (kind of like a convention, where makers go, play, show off their work) with the idea that Makers and Making is going to fuel a renaissance in American manufacturing. This is an expectation that a lot of people have, they see making and makers go hand in hand with entrepreneurship. “Maker Faire trailer ... outside the rose garden during the first ever White House Maker Faire, June 18, 2014 which brings together students, entrepreneurs, and everyday citizens who are using new tools and techniques to launch new businesses, learn vital skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and fuel the renaissance in American manufacturing, at the White House, Wednesday, June 18, 2014 in Washington. The President announced new steps the Administration and its partners are taking to support the ability of more Americans, young and old, to have to access to these tools and techniques and brings their ideas to life.”
- Speaking: Michelle - point out a couple of aspects to Making Making is firmly rooted in pedagogical theory. A key player in this is Seymour Papert who introduced the learning theory of “constructionism” back in the 1980’s. Constructionism is - learning through the act of construction - usually resulting in an object or artifact Making often means tinkering - which in turn means play. Making is intended to harness our propensity for play, messing about with things is encouraged Failure is expected (even celebrated) because experiments dont always work out, and experiment is key to growth Making is collaborative, and encourages things comes together in unlikely ways. Have you ever worked with someone who’s ideas were very different than yours, yet your project turned out better for it? Combining talents can lead to great ideas through cross pollination Above all, you are making something. There is an emphasis on personal fabrication, and on creation rather than consumption. So what? Look at it as a group of resources, a way of looking at the world and a call to play
- Speaking: Beth “Bringing Maker education to the Library and Information Studies Department and the UNCG community through…”
- Speaking: Michelle + Brown briefly discuss an overview of the five scheduled workshops some other ideas for the spring semester so stayed tuned more advanced 3D modeling (maybe) construction Scratch programming
- Speaking: Brown
- Michelle Get ideas, get inspired Follow this blog,
- Michelle Watch this webinar – excellent ideas Go talk to makers at your local makerspace Go to a Maker Faire – season just about over, but will start up in spring Talk to people
- Michelle Watch this webinar – excellent ideas Go talk to makers at your local makerspace Go to a Maker Faire – season just about over, but will start up in spring Talk to people
- Speaking:Beth
- Thingiverse etc– look for models
- To get you started looking around, working in 3D – project Shapeshifter - play Tinkercad – black and white images, maybe text Build from scratch at end if time
