We arrived in Alpena and so did 115% of our registrants! Wow!
We did started off with a notecard activity with lots of creative objects resulting. After going over the history and theory behind some of the maker movement, we moved into forming community Maker Visions.
We continued in the afternoon with more hands-on activities, including hacking a flashlight with our trusty junk box. Our participants loved the junk box and we had more ideas that surprised and delighted us all.
After an enlightening discussion about how assessment in makerspaces can be useful for gaining support in public libraries, we moved into board game design and a brief tour of tools we like!
Here’s our presentation and other info from the day. Find more pictures in our album here.
Be sure to come later in the week or to other events down the road!
