This year's Teen Tech Week (TTW) theme was "Create it at your library!" Once again the two media specialists I work with, Kathy Johnson and Kay LeRoy, shared my enthusiasm. After mulling over the theme we decided that TTW was the perfect opportunity to try out our first official makerspace. Cost constraints were a factor so we created stations on a shoestring budget and used an existing set of iPads.
Students visited our makerspace with their course alignment (30 minute study hall) classes. Each table housed a station. Students were allowed to go to the station of their choice as long as there was room at the table. Student feedback was incredibly positive! So many asked if we could do it again and several said they wished we could "do this all the time".
