Grant Wood AEA’s Digital Learning Team is introducing our makerspace challenge show called Think, Make, Innovate. The idea behind a makerspace challenge is to spark ideas and innovation, by putting out a simple idea and seeing what can be created.

Each month we will test you with a new makerspace challenge on our Think, Make, Innovate Page. When a challenge is released, it will include a video that can be shared with students to introduce them to the month’s challenge and will be supported with a lesson plan for teachers to assist in implementation. The challenges are designed to be adaptable to various grade levels and will range from low to high tech. In each episode, we do a demonstration of the challenge or highlight a school participating in the challenge, to give students some inspiration to get started. As it often is with making, we show failure and that learning is not always perfect. We hope that your students will take the episode idea and build off of it to stretch their creativity and try out their making skills to create their own original products.
Our hope is that you will take up the challenge and share your process with us. Take photos or short videos of your students’ creativity and we will post on them our Community Inspiration Board. Sharing is easy, just email us at makerspace@gwaea.org or send us the links through this Google Form.
Stay tuned, our first episode, Green Screen Photo Booth, will be released on September 1st.
