By facebooker_10215094168021227

  • Visit PUHSD

    Visit other makerspaces to see how they are being used in K12 education

  • Visit public makerspace to determine more possibilities for K12 implementation

    Visit Vocademy in Riverside to see what types of training, tools, supplies they offer to the community and detemine what is possible in a public school environment.

  • Pitch the idea to district and site administration

    With data to back suggestions, present the idea of implementing a makerspace at a school site in the district. Plan to pilot makerspace activities at one school and then spread to additional schools the following year(s)

  • Choose place and space

    Find a champion who is willing, ready and excited to participate in the pilot of the makerspace program. This person will be a resource to others once the program expands.

  • Determine available funding

    With district and site support determine budget available for space and begin to currate materials and plan to purchase additional supplies as needed.

  • Plan purchases

  • Create PO(s) for puchases

  • Organize and stock makerspace with purchased items

  • Train personnel on using items in the makerspace
