Mobile Makerspace

As an unschooling parent I’m forever betting on the power of learning that takes place in the spaces in-between. With boredom. With interest. With opportunity. With asking questions? With motivation or lack there of. With failure.

It's hard to think of a better companion to this mindset than that of the Maker Movement.

My vision is to establish a mobile environment were young people can come together regularly to make, share, give, learn, play, participate, support and change.

Whats on offer

In a casual group setting young people will be supported to explore their interests around STEAM. This might be around art/craft, multimedia, visual design, robotics, coding, web development or a combination of related interests. They'll be encouraged to set a learning intention (so they can come back to it over a number of sessions) and pick a project to work on.

My hope is that I'll work with a mix of young people who have participated in the Workshop Program and those who haven't.

These sessions will require a fair amount of self autonomy and be guided by the following Code of Conduct.

Whats available

Some basic tools (like power and Internet access) will be provided to start and I'll have at least one laptop with me plus a few other bits and pieces. I'm working on creating a list of what I have / need. I plan to grow what's available overtime so a BYO DIY attitude will be a must in the early days.
