  1. Image Credit Maker Faire - http://makerfaire.com/
  2. What this training is NOT: I won’t be address specific program ideas. This is an overview and introduction of the hardware you can use in programs. I will also share resources for program ideas.
  3. Image Credit Maker Faire - http://makerfaire.com/
  4. Maker Definition: A person or thing that makes or produces something. Could be making a product or an experience. Learn through doing. Often STEAM related (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math). Hacking—”Hacker Spaces” are sometimes used interchangeably with Maker Spaces, but often they are more computer, technology, or mechanically oriented activities.
  5. Amy Koester (sounds like “Kester”?) – Youth & Family Program Coordinator @ Skokie Public Library Blog: The Show Me Librarian High Tech = larger investment; equipment necessary, experience helps Medium Tech = smaller investment, but some equipment might be necessary; experience still helps but less skills required at start Low Tech = little or no investment, few or no special materials needed—make it with what you have; don’t need much experience
  6. 3D printers! These range from around $1000 to over $3000 – definitely an investment!
  7. Monroe County PL Level Up is an all ages space that includes a video production studio with green screen, two audio production studios, and digital creativity workstations for design, coding, and editing. Level Up is a place for video and music production, graphic and web design, and coding and game creation.
  8. The children’s services consultant offers LEGO kits for a 3 month check out. If interested in scheduling a kit, please reach out to Angela (OR ???) The Association for Library Service to Children worked with LEGO Systems, Inc. to bring Junior Maker Spaces to libraries across the country. The project focused on giving children ages 4 to 6 areas to make and create in their local libraries. Although the project has concluded, you may still use the resources below to support Junior Maker Spaces in your library using LEGO® bricks from your library's collection. http://www.ala.org/alsc/junior-maker-space JCPL was lucky enough to be one of these recipients – talk about what we did with collection, plus our separate donated collection.
  9. Next, we’ll go over each item in a bit more detail…then you’ll get your hands dirty!
  10. A makey makey is an electronic invention tool and toy that allows users to connect everyday objects to computer programs. Using a circuit board, alligator clips, and a USB cable, the toy uses closed loop electrical signals to send the computer either a keyboard stroke or mouse click signal. This function allows the makey makey to work with any computer program or webpage since all computer programs and webpages take keyboard and mouse click inputs. Materials should be good conductors of electricity. You can use play-doh, most fruits and vegetables, water, graphite or foil to create your own interfaces. Makey Makey is $49.95 http://www.makeymakey.com/howto.php

Makey Makey is $49.95 http://www.makeymakey.com/howto.php
  12. Little Bits is a modular electronics, which snap together with small magnets for prototyping and learning. The company’s goal is to democratize hardware the way software and printing have been democratized. The complex technologies allow anyone to build, prototype, and invent. Blue = Power Pink = Input Orange = Wire Green = Output The deluxe kit is $199, you can purchase additional pieces.
  13. Sound =$84.95 Light = $84.95 Snap Circuits kits use electronic blocks that snap onto a clear plastic grid to build different circuits. These blocks have different colors and numbers on them so that someone can easily identify them. Snap Circuits includes a detailed booklet with an assortment of projects from simple to intricate. It also contains a basic introduction to electricity—information that could easily be included into an introduction a maker program exploring circuits. You could describe to the kids what a current is and how its measured, what the power of electricity is, or wattage, and explain what a resistor does as well. Snap Circuits are also a great foundational program to explore circuitry that could then be applied to other programs. Like Discover Electronics... +Just need batteries +Manual is online so you can print pages needed +Jumper wires are a fun way to use other objects to conduct – water vs. salt water, lead pencil +Highlight your collection – bring out books on electronics, engineering, sound, light We’ve brought 2 Snap Circuits kits today: a LIGHT one, and a SOUND one. The LIGHT kit is especially fun if you can adjust your lighting in the program room. We have 2 simple projects for you to try on the LIGHT kit: making a circuit to turn on LED light and one to control a color organ—basically a microphone that follows your voice with tone and loudness and thus in turn, effects the LED light – putting on a light show with one’s voice The SOUND kit will have 2 projects – you can create a keyboard or an optical thermin. To create circuits, the project diagram will show you numbers in black along each part. Number 1 is on the first layer, number 2 is on the second layer, etc. These numbers are small on the diagram. Then of course each part has a number and color so you can easliy tell which part goes where.
  14. Discover Electronics = $79.00 “Like the old Radio Shack spring circuits but updated with modern teaching styles! Discover Electronics Kit contains the most common electronics components as well as a prototyping breadboard for you to get started right away. Easy full color diagrams teach you how to bring your own ideas to life. The Discover electronics kit uses standard components. All of these parts can be used by the beginner or the advanced user. As you grow and learn all of the parts in the kit are still useful in more advanced projects and can be expanded on by ordering additional parts from electronics suppliers.” Kit out to observe but not tinker. (Amber) Steep learning curve but you’re welcome to take a look at the contents, turn it on, etc.
  15. Myriwell 3D Printing Pen – CREO POP pens are new recommendation This is CreoPop Starter pack – 3 inks and pen for $130.
  16. Dash! By himself (no Dot) = $150
  17. Sphero Ollie – around $70 Sphero Sprk – around $100
  18. Sphero Ollie – around $70 Sphero Sprk – around $100
  19. Sphero Ollie – around $70 Sphero Sprk – around $100
  20. 6 cubelet kit we have was around $160, plus the Bluetooth cube was another $60.
  21. Lego WeDo – Core Set with Getting Started software - $160
  22. Hour of Code – Code.org Mini tutorials walk you or the kids through simple coding! The ones I did utilized a Scratch/Tickle puzzle-piece style of coding. GREAT because you are actually using code to play a game! I played the Star Wars game and it walked me through having BB8 collect scrap metal. The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts. Check out the tutorials and activities. This grassroots campaign is supported by over 400 partners and 200,000 educators worldwide. When is the Hour of Code? The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. The 2016 Computer Science Education Week will be December 5-11, but you can host an Hour of Code all year round.
  23. If coding with text seems too daunting at first, try Scratch, a visual drag-and-drop programming language from MIT’s Media Lab and Lifelong Kindergarten project. By assembling interlocking puzzle pieces of code, you can build animations, programs, and games that rival anything coded by hand.
  24. Drag and drop programming in app form – controls Sphero, robots, arduino circuits
  25. Drag and drop programming in app form – controls Sphero, robots, arduino circuits
  26. Education company for online code learning – If you want to learn really-real coding, this is the place to go. You can select different courses, and can be walked through learning HTML and CSS. Can also learn basics of Javascript, a versatile programming language. You can learn this yourself and teach it to the kids, or set it up for them to come in and go through the program—maybe an after school or summertime coding camp. Just need an email address to sign up.
  27. One of the biggest questions I’ve gotten in doing this training is, these robots are all great, but how do we use them in programs? ----------------- LSTA info For projects, we always tell applicants to avoid writing “wishlists,” and instead form projects that have a measurable impact on the participants. For example, if one library applied for a grant to "build a makerspace,” and another applied for a grant to “build a makerspace AND offer STEM programming in conjunction with a local Boys and Girls club,” the one with the planned programming would be more likely to get the grant. We want to see evidence the equipment will be used and that the community has a need for it. They are welcome to contact me at any point in the planning process.   Thanks,   Jennifer Clifton Public Library and LSTA Consultant Indiana State Library 140 N Senate Ave Indianapolis IN 46204 (317) 234-6550 - toll free (800) 451-6028 - fax (317) 232-0002
  28. Robot Test Kitchen is a group of librarians who blog about robots and electronics. Their page includes reviews of various devices (including Makey Makey, Sphero, and Squishy Circuits) as well as a blog about their experiences and programs they have done. --------------------- We are Robot Test Kitchen, a group of Youth Services and Teen librarians. We believe that when imaginations play, learning happens. We aim to use simple robotics as a means to expand our learning experience for other new technologies. Our goal is to provide an entry point of simple robotics in a way Youth and Teen Librarians can understand.  This project began with funding from ILEAD-USA, 2014.  ILEAD-USA is a grant funded by IMLS and run by the Illinois State Library. Twitter: @RobotTestKitchn 5 Barrier-Busting Programs +StopMotion video creating +Take it Apart – computers, etc. +Coding Club +Cardboard Challenge --- Caine’s Arcade +Squishy circuits – electronics with PlayDough
  29. Collaboration with Instructables.com and the American Library Association. Great database of IDEAS! Can search if you have a search term/topic/activity in mind, or you can narrow your options by using the search limiters on the left side of the page (tools & space, age level, cost, time). -------------------------- Please note: We, Make It @ Your Library, receive all project content directly from Instructables and we review the content and concept of each project as a whole. While some projects may have minor flaws (typos, grammatical errors, language, etc.), we believe the overall content of these projects is of high quality. Please exercise good judgment, safety, and responsibility when selecting and creating any of the projects on this site. Not all projects can (or should) be created in every library and it is your responsibility to know what level of activity can reasonably be undertaken in your institution.”
  30. TinkerLab is another good resource – “For Mini Makers & Inventors” tagline. Activities divided by age as well as science and art. Free newsletter you can subscribe to.
  31. Hagerstown Jefferson Public Library is a designated Maker Camp location; 6 week curriculumn (doesn’t necessarily correspond with Summer Reading but they make it work.) Applied to be a Campsite and were accepted; were sent a kit with some great supplies in it (around $300 value). They run their own programs but use the site/curriculumn for inspiration. https://makercamp.com/
