- Makerspace definition: 1. physical location where people gather to share resources, knowledge & work on projects. This includes experimenting with technology, hardware and prototypes via self-directed learning. See EDUCAUSE 7 things you should know about makerspaces http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7095.pdf

- http://www.makershed.com/Make_Spinbot_Kit_p/msrspin.htm - $24.99 What do you get when you put colorful pens in the clutches of a buzzing, spinning robot? A SpinBot! The MAKE SpinBot Kit lets you build a triple-armed, pen- or chalk-grasping “robot” that spins in circles and draws elaborate geometric shapes while you watch. The kit is the brainchild of Christopher Myers and Anne Mayoral who form ArtBot Toys, a company that aims to introduce kids to science and technology. Chris and Anne have attended multiple Maker Faires where their SpinBots never fail to draw a crowd. Assembly is easy and takes about 30 minutes, making it a great parent-child project. While kids are having fun making colorful art, they’ll learn about electronics and geometry. Each kit includes laser-cut acrylic parts, rubber bands, a motor, battery holder, and power switch. All you need to start making robotic art are batteries, pens, and paper.

- SLS – Common industrial fabrication technique. Laser used to melt powdered plastic, ceramic, wood/resin composite, metal or other material before laying another layer of powder and repeating the melt process. Wide variety of materials – VERY expensive and large machines . . . But the patent expires in 2014, so we should start to see cheaper machines. Stereolithography – Ultraviolet laser used to harden resin by layer in a vat. Quickly makes high quality parts that can then reliably be further refined. Printers are expensive and mostly reserved for industrial/medical prototyping; however, Formlabs has created the Form1 at $3300. The resin used is very expensive. Powder Bed/Binder – Distributes a colored binding agent through an inkjet printing head to a layer of powder. Allows for fullcolor 3d printing. Can be very expensive. A variation on this theme is the Mcor Iris, which prints a thin layer of binder to regular printing paper and sliced layer by layer. This is the printer used by the new Staples 3d printing service that opened in Europe. Fused Deposition Modelling – Common method and also the most affordable. Print material (usually with a relatively low melt point) is extruded through a heated head to create thin filaments that are pressed layer by layer. Used by nearly all “Consumer Ready” print solutions.

Fully HAT compatible 40pin extended GPIO to enhance your "real world" projects 10/100 Ethernet Port to quickly connect the Raspberry Pi to the Internet 6x Faster than previous model Will run a (specific) version of Win10 Media server Slide-shows OPAC station Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu/) - With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community. Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century. Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. It is provided free of charge.
- High School Teacher Creates Drogerdy, the 3D Printed Raspberry Pi Controlled Tank Bot http://3dprint.com/41264/drogerdy-raspberry-pi-bot/ “The Drogerdy is designed as a tractor style robot which is modular and expandable,” Clark tells us. “The need for a tank style bot was important as it exposes my students to specific programming concepts in a new and interesting way. Currently the tracks run around a two cog assembly, but I have designed an expansion piece to enable the track to be almost twice as long.”
- http://arduino.cc Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board. Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can be communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.
