This document discusses makerspaces in libraries and provides information about necessary equipment. It describes common tools used in makerspaces like LEGO, 3D printers, 3D scanners, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino. Several 3D printer models are highlighted and examples of 3D printing and modeling software provided. Setting up a makerspace involves considerations around funding, space, supplies, projects, and safety. Resources and contacts are provided for libraries interested in starting their own makerspace.
Interested in creating a Makerspace in your library? This program will discuss what a Makerspace is, how libraries of all types create and share Makerspaces with library customers and the community and feedback from users. Libraries are a much needed and often used third space, which are ideal for community Makerspaces to collaborate and encourage creativity among all users. There will be gadgets, hands-on demos and group discussion on the nuts & bolts necessary for Makerspace in the library as well as what products should be found in successful Makerspaces. Gordon Wyant will share how his library successfully wrote a grant for a 3D printer, and Michael Sauers will demo a range of new gadgets including a Raspberry Pi and LibraryBox.
Presenters: Marcia Dority Baker, University of Nebraska College of Law Library, Lincoln; Michael Sauers, Nebraska Library Commission; Gordon Wyant, Bellevue Public Library.

Tinkers, Printers & Makers: Makerspaces in the Library (NEFLIN 2015)Michael Sauers
Presented online for NEFLIN on 10 February 2015 with Marcia Dority Baker & Gordon Wyant.
Note: Some of the slides have internal transitions that don't translate well in SlideShare. Feel free to download the original file from SlideShare to make those slides more readable.
The success of libraries in the future will be determined by its ability to create stories rather than provide them. One way to accomplish this is by putting technology and people together so patrons become creators in makerspaces or other learning environments. Discover great new learning technologies and techniques for patrons, and how to build your new fablab or hackerspace. Arm yourself with facts for having interactive spaces to get buy-in from everyone from staff to public to the IT teams. Lastly, we will discuss ways to continually train and engage the staff so that your environment will constantly evolve
This talk was first presented at the Maryland Society for Educational Technology 2014 Common Ground conference. It is meant as an introductory talk about 3D printing and how to get started designing for 3D printing and printing even if you don't have a 3D printer.
We discuss:
* What exactly is 3D printing
* What can it do
* What it can't do
* The uses of 3D printing in fashion, architecture, food, medical devices, and tools
* Real world projects using 3D printing and everyday people
* How 3D printing can be used in the classroom
* Different types of 3D printers
* Different types of 3D printing materials
* Different software solutions for creating 3D designs
* Some 3D printing resources
Presentation for the Enoch Pratt Teen Librarians given at the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped in Baltimore on January 19, 2016.

Empowering Creativity: Exploring Makerspaces and Engaging STEM Programming in...Ellyssa Kroski
Makerspaces are creative, DIY spaces where people can gather to create, invent, and learn. In libraries they often have 3D printers, software, electronics, craft and hardware supplies and tools, and more. Forward-thinking libraries are already building their own dedicated makerspaces and developing valuable STEM programming based on the tools and technologies found therein. Learn all about the essential tools and technologies found in makerspaces and how you can host engaging STEM programming using tech such as Raspberry Pis, wearable electronics, virtual reality, and robotics in your library whether you have a dedicated makerspace or not!

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

When Kaiba Gionfriddo was born, his parents never expected to have to look on, helpless, as his windpipe collapsed daily and stopped him from breathing. They were desperate—so when a team of researchers suggested that a 3D printer could help, they leapt at the chance. So a team from the University of Michigan set about using high-resolution imaging to study Kaiba's trachea and bronchus, and then got busy with some computer aided design. Using data from CT scans they were able to create accurate 3D models of his delicate little airways—weakened by a condition called tracheobronchomalacia—and develop a splint that could be used to help support them. The research is published in the New England Journal of Medicine . http://gizmodo.com/how-a-3d-printer-helped-a-child-breathe-again-509468535

The Makerbot Digitizer, which costs $1,400 (£900), will be shipped to the first buyers in October 2013. Demand for the machine appeared to overload the company's store when it went on sale on Thursday evening. The Digitizer is the latest product looking to bring 3D printing to mainstream technology users - but experts are sceptical. The machine is designed to allow the replication of objects without any need for the user to learn any 3D modelling software or have any other special expertise. It works by pointing several lasers at the object and detecting contours in the surface. It also allows users to upload their 3D designs directly to Thingiverse, a website where 3D designs can be shared. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23795303 Structure Sensor: Capture the World in 3D http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/occipital/structure-sensor-capture-the-world-in-3d With the Structure Sensor attached to your mobile device, you can walk around the world and instantly capture it in a digital form. This means you can capture 3D maps of indoor spaces and have every measurement in your pocket. You can instantly capture 3D models of objects and people for import into CAD and for 3D printing. You can play mind blowing augmented reality games where the real world is your game world. 123D Catch Free as a webapp, Desktop download, or Ipad/Iphone app! Take several pictures of a stationary object from various angles and simply load the files into the app. The stitching algorithm will create a 3d model from your pictures that you can then export to an editor to clean up and make ready for print! http://www.123dapp.com/catch
