The session was a hit! About fifteen students in each lunch attend as well as two teachers. The teachers and students created Darth Vader as well as a Tie Fighter, an AT-ST Walker, an Imperial Star Destroyer, two AT-AT Walkers, and a Speeder bike.
Another part of the success of the first Challenge was that our broadcast teacher used it as an opportunity to train one of his students in video production. The student attended the second session of the Maker Challenge, and turned his footage into a video about the Maker Challenge. This video gave the library Maker Space some great publicity and appeared on the all school broadcast announcements the following week.
I look forward to holding another Maker Challenge next month. Some buzz has been created about the Makerspace, the challenge now is to build on that and connect it with some curricular projects!
