If you’re a #makerspace #librarian at #alaac24 stop by the Maker Pavilion and pick up a free Spark - see you this weekend in San Diego!

A sneak peek at a new Spark… Scene Machines! Inspired by the Automata collection at Baltimore’s @TheAVAM , we’re investigating ways anyone can create simple cardboard automata without needing special tools or materials. Watch this space - more coming soon!

We’re partnering with the @marylandzoo this summer to design and test a special Spark about creatures, movement, locomotion, and play - for people >and< animals in the care of the zoo. Watch this space - more to be shared soon!

Proud to be part of @arts4learningmd and be able to work with @PrincipalShepp ‘s 5th graders at George Washington Elementary - activating #STEAM mindsets + #playfulengineering through #drawbots @BaltCitySchools @mdartscouncil

Drawbots at the @thecjrschool Science Fair & Engineering Night! #playfulengineering mindsets & positive family engagement demonstrates deep commitment to learners & caregivers growing together. #playfulengineering #stemnight #stem #artteacher #socialandemotionallearning #sel

When Marshall Adams added @futuremakerkids to the Union Collective wall it brought big joy. Logo created by @KnightofDesign and @scottygerk #madeinbaltimore #signpainter #customsign #baltimore #smallbusiness #manufacturing #collective #handpainted #makerspace #maker #signmaker

Clicker presses go BONK, lasers go PEW PEW PEW. Just a little bit of making Sparks for every Maker Monday. Check out which Sparks these become part of @ link in bio. #clickerpress #lasercutter #makermonday #classroomstem @ClearCutDies @omtechlaser

Summer programs + hands-on math needs learning made to keep! PK-3 learners build, rebuild & take home Straw Structures for further playful engineering. Visit kidsmakethingsbetter.com/spa… to bring Straw Structures to your learners: #summerlearning #math #stem #summercamp #stem #SEL
