Makerspace Project

I am creating a Makerspace in my shed.

Makerspace is a promising learnign environment for creativity, problem solving, and innovation. I have been working on this alone for some time and would like to start sharing ideas about how to implement a Makerspace Learning Environment (MLE) in educational settings. My main purpose for designing such a MLE is for my personal interests and passion in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. I will present my home makerspace first then discuss how it can be translated into classroom situations.

Prelude

** I 3D printed some robots and plan to make some stories for learning. This is just a trial, and the moral of the story is "Remember to exercise".
