To celebrate the Hour of Code, we're coding on the app Kodable during Maker Space for two weeks. The kids are also learning what binary means and making bracelets with their initials in binary. It's amazing how quickly they catch on... the kids in the middle picture are kindergarteners, many of whom have never tried coding before! When I think of what they can accomplish with just a little guidance, I'm excited about their future and ours!

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.
