Summer School...Six Weeks...29 Days...Four Hours A Day = 116hrs of "Design It - Make it"

On June 11th, twelve students (seven boys, four girls) started their summer school class in our MakerSpace. The course is called "Design It-Make It". They learned about the design process, how to look critically at objects and identify their parts & purposes, and how to use different pieces of software and hardware.

They made things out of cardboard, paper, wood, vinyl, plastic. They used 3D printers, laser cutters, vinyl cutters, computers, scissors, glue, tape. They crated mazes, boxes, wa'as (Hawaiian voyaging canoes), signs, labels.

For six weeks they worked by themselves and in groups. They imagined, planned, made, evaluated and improved numerous projects. Some projects were assigned by the teacher and some were totally the students idea.

Here are some pictures that span our 116 hour makerspace class:
