Maker Resources

I like compiling and sharing resources to help people with #MakerCenteredLearning and #MakerSpace and #MakerMindset.
Every space is different, every child is different, every teacher is different. 
These are to give you ideas to get you thinking and creating :

1) Our Favorite Low Cost materials
cardboard, paper towel tubes, toilet paper tubes, various other recyclables, plastic/paper cups, paper, paper plates, straws & coffee stirrers, string, yarn, cotton balls, craft sticks, toothpicks, foam (even pool noodles from dollar store), various tape, repurposed cloth/fabrics. I would include coroplast if you can get free (election signs). I think LED's and batteries are great items also. (LED's ~ $10/500 , batteries ~$20/100 on amazon)... a longer list of low cost/low tech materials

 (see Low Cost Low Tech page for more thoughts)

2) A list of books for your spaces (yes plural, remember MakerSpace is more than just a room in your building). 
​Some of the books are for teachers, some for students and some for projects.

3) A list of materials, supplies and tool ideas for your spaces. This is broken down by No Cost, Low Cost, and Budget Busters.

4) A list of materials/supplies/tools in A to Z form ... everything is a material
MaterialsAtoZ 

5) This is a list of materials to do some Physical Computing & Robotics. I often do not use everything that is included in "kits" from companies and I think some of the kits are over priced. So I tried to think of what I would like in a kit.
