MICROSOFT MAKER SPACE PROJECT

9/3/2016

It seems that every company is getting in on the  makerspace craze.  Some are offering resources, materials, and programs that have little to do with inquiry and ingenuity by slapping the word "makerspace" on the package and hoping it sticks.  Believe it or not, Microsoft is a company that has done it right!  Here's why:
  1. ​Microsoft doesn't make any money from their Maker Space Project.  The notebook is free to access, download, and print.  Materials and tools can be purchased at hobby, electrical, and home improvement stores.  Some resources can be found in the house, at the grocery store, or at the dollar store.
  2. Educators can easily integrate activities into their classroom lessons with the included Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and International Society for Technology in Education Standards (ISTE). 
  3. Microsoft's makerspace projects help students to become college and career ready, as real world applications are included for mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, and data scientists.
  4. Until we can find ways to clone ourselves, educators will always have the problem of finding ways to assist all of their students, while differentiating instruction.  Educators will find the embedded videos, diagrams, and sway presentations invaluable to helping their students develop into both independent and collaborative thinkers.
  5. Assessments abound in this interactive notebook through rubrics, reflective journals, and challenge activities.  Whether your school is a Microsoft school or not, you will find this Maker Space Project to be a addition to your curriculum!
