Rockets and Robots Workshop - An Educators guide to Simple Maker Projects
Maker Faire Bay Area 2019
May 17th-19th
Want to try some Maker projects in your classroom but not sure where to start? Looking for safe and classroom tested ideas? This workshop is designed by a teacher for teachers. Learn how tape, scissors, and some recycled materials can be transformed into a number of fun and low cost student projects. No hot glue needed. Then you get to build two projects on your own. Gain experience, share knowledge, increase confidence and return to your classroom ready to lead your young Makers.
Christine Harvey
Christine is an award winning Maker and a middle school science teacher in the Central Valley of California and serves as a School Board trustee in another district. She is also an adjunct college instructor where she teaches credential students how to teach science. Making is fun, but hands-on Maker projects in a classroom setting, with the demands of new standards, limited budget and physical space, combined with teaching a large number of diverse learners, is challenging. She is excited to share her ideas and learn from others. Teachers are the ultimate makers.
