Makers in the Making Unit
Unit Overview:
This unit builds on the foundations set in Intro to Makerspace, guiding students through their first structured making experiences. Young makers will engage in hands-on projects that introduce them to simple design concepts, material exploration, and basic assembly techniques. With a strong emphasis on creativity, adaptability, and collaboration, students will begin to understand how everyday objects are made and develop their ability to bring ideas to life. Through interactive challenges and guided experimentation, they will strengthen their confidence as budding innovators.
Key Learning Outcomes:
Applying foundational makerspace skills in simple, structured projects
Exploring materials and understanding how they can be shaped, connected, and transformed
Developing an early awareness of design and problem-solving through guided challenges
Strengthening collaboration, communication, and perseverance in making
Encouraging creativity through hands-on, process-focused exploration
