25 Hour Learning Challenge-Specific Goal

 Hi, everyone!

I need to pick a specific learning goal for my challenge, and I have decided to learn more about makerspaces. Makerspaces are a place for students to coming together to learn through hands-on activities. Kids have access to technologies, such as 3D printers and sewing machines to create. This is especially important for school libraries, since the makerspace can be customized to a specific lesson or unit, especially in STEM. For example, if the students are learning about electricity, they can come into the makerspace and utilize the provided resources to not only conduct research, but make batteries. My goal is to be able to boost student comprehension of the lesson by utilizing the makerspace. Some resources I plan to use: articles about makerspaces (ex: https://www.makerspaces.com/what-is-a-makerspace/), videos of successful makerspaces (ex:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbj_FtEAEcc) , and testimonials from librarians (ex:https://groverscornerofthelibrary.com/2021/01/25/makerspaces-my-favorite-part-about-being-a-librarian/). Wish me luck!
