So, I purchased 6 Bloxel game boards when they went on sale Black Friday ($30 apiece). I was super pleased, thinking I had gotten a great deal. However, as I put the Bloxels out for kids to use, many of them ignored the board completely and built their entire game (character, background, action pieces) on the iPad app - which is FREE, by the way! What's my point? Try the free app first! The kids had a blast making up their own video games and it is a pretty intuitive app. I had some students show me some things and there are tutorials on YouTube. Give it a go!

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.
