This week in iNEST, 32 students continued to work on their paper coaster projects. Their support structures are beginning to take shape, soon to be adorned with the more creative track elements (curves, straight track, drops, funnels). We were excited to receive several dozen boxes of supplies this week along with plastic storage to begin stocking the makerspace with permanent tools (tape dispensers, screwdrivers, multimeter, scissors, hammers, xacto's, wire cutters, glue guns, etc.) and consumable materials (construction paper, tissue paper, tape, LEDs, copper tape, glue sticks, etc.). The school has provided two track-out carts to hold maker materials, with the various shelves and plastic totes labeled for students to find materials they need when self-sourcing project supplies. We have started an "inspiration file" in one of the pull-out drawers to hold magazines and articles related to making and different making-related careers.
