Here is a wonderful list of one school’s most valuable tools for their makerspace. Kevin Jarrett, middle school teacher from Northfield, New Jersey explains, “A true makerspace is defined not by what’s in it but rather by what comes out of it: projects, experiences, artifacts, and learning. The tools are just a means to an end.”
Here is just a sample of some of their important tools for both large and small budgets:
1. Writeable desk surfaces
2. Hot glue guns
3. littleBits™ Modules
4. Dollar store items
5. Shop aprons and goggles
6. Quadrille-ruled pads/journals
