MakerSpace!

The Buckman Library was gifted this awesome "tinker camp" cart from another library at the end of last year. 

We have been taking advantage of all the "Recyclables" and "Trash" that people throw out and turning it  into our own inventions. Getting inspired by THESE awesome books, some classes have been creating inventions!

Our MakerSpace has some concepts we follow:

• Concepts
  • Invent - What is an inventor? What does it mean to invent something?
  • Construct - What does construct mean?
  • Deconstruction - If construct means ……, what does deconstruct mean?
  • Modify - What does it mean to modify something?
  • Failure - Do you think inventors invented exactly what they wanted the first time around? We never make things perfect the first time!

• How it relates to Scientific Inquiry - https://pdxmelinda.com/scientific-inquiry/
  
  • Dream – Hypothesize
    
  • Explore – Research and refine hypothesis
    
  • Design – Application of knowledge (prior and new)
    
  • Make – Application of knowledge/test and adapt
    
  • Connect – Reflect and revise
