Library MakerSpace in the Making
Rice Makerspace
We are currently in the process of creating a Makerspace at Rice and hope to have things in place sometime during the beginning of the 2nd semester. "What is a Makerspace?", you might ask. Here are a few sites that explain what a Makerspace is and how one makes a positive impact on students:
- "7 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT …"
- "Designing a School Makerspace"
- "Make YOUR space: the maker movement in education"
During this process, we are starting to gather items, and will continue to gather items, for our students to create within the Makerspace. Please consider how you can help out and send any items to Mrs. Johnson in the Rice library.
Information on when the Makerspace is finally open will come in the future and we hope to have an Open House showcasing what we have available for our students. Please let us know if you have any questions.
