Our first ever 4th grade Maker Club is coming to a close. I was so glad that my schedule allowed for this to happen this year, as it's something I've been wanting to do since we first created our makerspace. The club met during lunch time, and while the kids ate, I taught a mini-lesson about a specific piece of equipment - this allowed the kids to have time with some of the things we don't always get to use during our library/tech classes. Then they had the rest of our 45 minute time to either do something with the equipment we'd looked at that day, or work on a project of their choice. They loved the MaKey MaKeys, the Chibilight circuit stickers, and the Dash and Dot robots in particular.
