We had the opportunity to have a #MakerSpace at the Crawford County 4H Fair for a day. We set up multiple stations for kids, parents & grandparents to see, explore, create, talk about. This was inside and not everyone knew we were inside, but many came and looked at things, tried some out, had conversations about MakerEd. Every station got some action at some time during the day. The stations we had :
-cardboard tools & cardboard
-coding & robotics with TaleBot, CuteBot, micro:bit
-3D printing(I had lasered some trinkets ahead of time and had some left over from Earth Day)
-Paper Circuits (3 circuits on 1 page or a coloring book page)
-craft stick catapult
-butterfly creation (craft stick/Cricut cut wings/pipe cleaners)
I also had stomp rockets (though I had to go through the recycling bins for bottles b/c I left mine at home), but the place was crowded with a health fair.
