Advice for Successful Kids’ Makerspaces from Toronto’s MakerKids

From the MAKE blog comes advice from MakerKids, Toronto’s kid-centered makerspace. Advice includes a lot of stuff we also do in Michigan Makers. They call it “The MakerKids Recipe:

  1. Dedicated Space – that signals that this site is outside the normal boundaries of their day.
  2. Real tools.
  3. Process Over Product.
  4. Interest-Driven.
  5. Kids Teaching (aka peer guidance)
  6. Exhibition
  7. Community
