Maker Stations for Makerspaces {2nd-5th} – Distance Learning

Description

Looking for an Elementary Makerspace without the SPACE?!

Maker Stations provide targeted design thinking and space-saving solutions for elementary classrooms and media centers. They allow for a creative Makerspace atmosphere, emphasizing skills in engineering, art, math, science, technology, and music. 40 Maker Station options are provided with supply lists, instructions, QR code resources, and student planning/reflection templates. Common arts and crafts materials and STEM Bins are suggested for each station and can fit inside a large utility caddy.

App extensions are provided for students to share and present creations.

“Ask an Expert” table tents are also provided to encourage peer coaching.

Maker Stations can be used in the following ways:

1) WEEKLY MAKER STATION: Groups of 2-4 students visit the Maker Station weekly on a schedule of your choosing. (i.e. one group each day) Students will need approximately 30 minutes to fully complete a Maker Station. You may use the provided scheduling options in the separate file to track daily rotations.

2) MULTIPLE MAKER STATIONS: Up to six Maker Stations set up at once, with small groups of 3-4 students rotating through each station. If you choose this option, I recommend using the editable schedule cards (separate file) in a pocket chart to track rotations.

3) WHOLE CLASS MAKER STATION: Project one Maker Station and provide materials for the class to complete together.

4) TASK CARDS FOR MAKERSPACE: Print the Maker Station cards

quarter-sized (available in separate file). Put 4-6 cards on a ring for students to complete during Makerspace time.
