1 Immersive Makerspace Experience Jason Erdreich, President 9-12 Technology, Engineering, & Design Manalapan High School

2 What is a Makerspace? A facility that encourages creative thought in order to promote innovation through the use and availability of unique resources

3 The Big Idea K-5 Brainstorming, Exploration, Predictions, Independence 6-8 Diverse content, Design process Collaboration, HS prep 9-12 Content specific Research/Pub. Documentation Future ready Higher Ed / Career

4 What is a Makerspace? Successful makerspaces are much more than elaborate facilities. Staff Content Resources

5 Collaboration Level Design Level Production Level Manufacturing Level Industrial Level

6 Collaboration Level A space that provides opportunities of collaboration among classmates through the use of paper crafts, simple software, and entry level 3D printers.

7 Collaboration Level Facilities Open Classroom Flexible layout Storage Certification: All Student Access: All after proper safety training

8 Collaboration Level Content: Sketching Physical modeling Paper engineering 3D modeling (CAD) Block Programming Basic Circuitry Equipment: Entry-level 3D printers 3D scanners Scissors Rulers Resources: Tinkercad Scratch Spheros Lego WeDo Cubelets Snap Circuits MakeyMakey

9 Design Level A space that provides students with additional design resources for more complex content such as hot glue guns, x-acto knives, more complex software, and robotics. Additional safety training may be required to use all tools.

10 Design Level Facilities Flexible layout Computers Lighting Certification: Tech / Engineering Science Math Art Student Access: All after proper safety training

11 Design Level Content: Prototyping Safety Multimedia Design Computer Programming Equipment: Multiple 3D Printers Hot Glue Guns X-Acto Knives Paper Cutter Poster Printer Resources: Script Programming Advanced Design Software MBot Lego Mindstorms

12 Production Level A lab space to accommodate a specified content area, typically outfitted with production equipment such as entry-level CNC machines, graphics production, soldering irons, and professional software. Tool specific safety training and teacher certification needed.

13 Production Level Facilities Lab format Compartmentalized Flexible / Stationary Certification: Tech / Engineering Content Specific Student Access: All after proper safety training

14 Production Level Content: Graphic Design Rapid Prototyping Production Tech Soldering/ Electronics Photo / Video Biotechnology Equipment: Arduino / Raspberry Pi Entry-Level CNC Screen Printing Soldering Irons Resources: Onshape Fusion 360 Adobe Suite Arduino Python Final Cut Pro

15 Manufacturing Level A space configured for materials processing that is outfitted with equipment such as drill presses, table saws, advanced CNC machinery, or automotive diagnostics. Tool specific safety training and teacher certification needed.

16 Manufacturing Level Facilities Lab format Compartmentalized Flexible / Stationary Certification: Tech / Engineering Content Specific Student Access: All after proper safety training

17 Manufacturing Level Content: Materials Processing Energy, Power, Transportation Engineering Design Advanced Robotics Equipment: Advanced CNC Laser Cutters Power Tools Manufacturing Machinery Car Lifts Resources: CAD / CAM Industry Contacts

18 Industrial Level An space designed to reflect a professional environment that is outfitted with industrial equipment such as heavy duty machinery, metal working, automotive manufacturing. Tool specific safety training and teacher certification needed.

19 Industrial Level Facilities Industrial Compartmentalized Certification: Tech / Engineering Content Specific Vocational / CTE Student Access: All after proper safety training

26 T G Mouse Trap R *no mice were harmed in the making of this challenge

27 T Prior Knowledge/Research Students have already been introduced to the following content and procedural training: Lab Safety Measuring Sketching Simple Machines (Lever, screw, wedge, etc.) Math Formulas (Circumference, Distance, etc.)

29 T Problem Congratulations! You and your team have been invited to compete in the 2017 Tom and Jerry grand national racing event. Your team must create a vehicle that will travel the furthest distance to be victorious in this event.

30 T Materials You will have the following materials to create your vehicle: 1 Mouse Trap 2 CDs 2 hub washers 1 Cardboard disk 2 skewers 6 tongue depressors 24 of string 12 of tape 1 hot glue stick

31 T Specifications Your vehicle must be created using only the materials given You must complete the prototype within the time period All parts of this prototype must be attached to the chassis You may not cut or disassemble the mousetrap, however you may attach items to it Your prototype must move at least 2 m The prototype that moves the furthest distance wins

32 T Hints What kind of simple machine is a mouse trap? How can we harness the and of a mouse trap? How can we transform the snapping mechanism of a mouse trap to a rotating motion to turn a wheel? Be mindful of your materials, choose when to use hot glue and tape wisely
