My principal had purchased Snap Circuits kits the year before for teachers to use in their classrooms. They sat untouched in my back room so I brought them out for Maker Space. We used Snap Circuits Junior for Kinder through 2nd grades. We added Snap Circuits Light and Green for the older students in 3rd - 5th. I have 5th grade helpers who come in the afternoon to assist with Kinder and 1st grade students.

Ginna HillI'm the librarian at Fern Bluff Elementary. We're piloting a Maker Space in the library this year. Maker Spaces, STEAM labs and fab labs are popping up in schools across the country. Maker Spaces provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in science, engineering and tinkering.I'm going to share what works and what doesn't.
