Agenda: • Introductions | How do you tinker or build? • The Maker Movement • The Beauty of S.T.E.M. | Maker Fashion Show • PLAY with various materials activity • Wrap-Up | Questions and Answers Shimira Williams is an innovator, educator, tenacious Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S.T.E.M.) advocate and an economic stimulator of technology education. A Pittsburgh, PA native and entrepreneur, she aspires to be a catalyst in eliminating the digital divide, especially in urban communities. Her mission is to build digital citizens through living, working and playing all things STEM! She also operates TekStart, a STEM-based after-school and summer program that literally kick starts technology education to grow the innovation economy. A notable program is Lunch & Learn, a career exploration lunch series for students to meet people that work in S.T.E.M. driven careers. The Digital Literacy Project has identified this program as an example of exemplary use of technology with children. Additionally, the lesson plan for Lunch & Learn will be included in The Remake Learning Digital Cookbook for Recipes for Remarkable Learning, a resources for educators via an online platform. ask@tekstart.org

- 4. What is the Maker Movement? The main principle is that each person should be a creative, inventive and productive individual and realize that through making, we learn. The authors of the paper use the term “making” as it relates to “new forms of relatively simple ways to fabricate real or digital things with digital tools, including fabrication, physical computing and programming.” The Maker Movement is an umbrella term that covers several different terms and hubs of making, such as the following: • Fablabs - Assemble Pittsburgh | TechShop Pittsburgh • Maker faire - Remake Learning Maker Party • DIY - Instructables| iQ: smartparent: iDad episode via WQED Education • Makerspaces -MAKESHOP® at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh • Hackerspaces – UnConference 2013: Game On (Pittsburgh Association for the Education of Young Children) | Startup Weekend Education (Education Entrepreneurs) Source: What is the Maker Movement and what is its educational potential?

Share your design with someone. 4. Give someone feedback about their design. • What have you learned? • Try it again with more tools. (paper clips, scissors, and online resources) • Play (Repeat 2-4) • Participate • Support • Change Image by ImageThink Source: The Maker Movement is Changing the World via McGraw Hill Education Business Blog (3.7.2014)

The Beauty of S.T.E.M. | Maker fashion show Location donated Students could submit ideas Designed Bib necklaces Coordinated materials and sponsorships Prototyping with tutus Each child crafted their jeans, t-shirts & tutus. Students modeled their fashions at the show. We rehearsed 3 times before the show ask@tekstart.org

- 8. Let’s talk about making with standards. While the Maker Movement is growing in popularity there is still debate over how the learning aligns with Common Core standards being adopted by states across the country. • “Popular 'Maker Movement' Incompatible With Common Core”- Education Week Authors Contend By Benjamin Herold on June 30, 2014 • “The Common Core Meets the Maker Movement” Remake Learning Blog Posted by Kathleen Costanza on September 22, 2014 • How the Children’s Museum's exhibits meet PA academic standards ask@tekstart.org

Editor's Notes
- Join the maker movement. Create an environment for children to tinker, create and innovate. This workshop will explore various materials and projects which can implemented into childcare facility at a reasonable cost. Please join us and help celebrate Pennsylvania’s tremendous advances in the field of Early Childhood Education. The ECE Summit provides an opportunity for over 1,000 professionals and parents across the early learning and school-age spectrum — child care, Head Start, Early Intervention, Pre-K Counts, and school district — an opportunity to dialogue and learn while building a stronger early learning community.
- The main principle is that each person should be a creative, inventive, productive individual and that through making, we learn. Fablabs – originating at MIT, FabLab is short for Fabrication Laboratory. Its purpose is to make cutting edge tools (like 3D printers) available to anyone. Maker faire – a magazine called MAKE that started publication in 2005 also established the Maker faire, which is an event where people can exhibit their creations and co-create with others. It is an annual event in the USA and several have been hosted in Europe. DIY – This acronym stands for Do It Yourself, and it refers to the principle of using the materials and tools available to produce one’s own inventions or products. Makerspaces are commercial spaces that provide digital fabrication tools such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and design software. The tools are available for a small fee to users. Hackerspaces are community-driven spaces for software developers and experts (ie. hackers) to share ideas and collaborate. Grade/Age: This project can be utilized with a varying age of children from K – 12th grades. Duration: 3.5 total hours (45 minutes for planning & debriefing activities and 2 hours for lunch)
- MAKE Making is fundamental to what it means to be human. We must make, create, and express ourselves to feel whole. There is something unique about making physical things. These things are like little pieces of us and seem to embody portions of our souls. SHARE Sharing what you have made and what you know about making with others is the method by which a maker’s feeling of wholeness is achieved. You cannot make and not share. GIVE There are few things more selfless and satisfying than giving away something you have made. The act of making puts a small piece of you in the object. Giving that to someone else is like giving someone a small piece of yourself. Such things are often the most cherished items we possess. LEARN You must learn to make. You must always seek to learn more about your making. You may become a journeyman or mas-ter craftsman, but you will still learn, want to learn, and push yourself to learn new techniques, materials, and processes. Building a lifelong learning path ensures a rich and reward-ing making life and, importantly, enables one to share. TOOL UP You must have access to the right tools for the project at hand. Invest in and develop local access to the tools you need to do the making you want to do. The tools of making have never been cheaper, easier to use, or more powerful. PLAY Be playful with what you are making, and you will be sur-prised, excited, and proud of what you discover. PARTICIPATE Join the Maker Movement and reach out to those around you who are discovering the joy of making. Hold seminars, parties, events, maker days, fairs, expos, classes, and din-ners with and for the other makers in your community. SUPPORT This is a movement, and it requires emotional, intellectual, financial, political, and institutional support. The best hope for improving the world is us, and we are responsible for making a better future. CHANGE Embrace the change that will naturally occur as you go through your maker journey. Since making is fundamental to what it means to be human, you will become a more com-plete version of you as you make. Image by ImageThink.
