Making Spaces: Expanding Making in Schools Across the Nation, Hub FAQ What is the Making Spaces: Expanding Maker Education Across the Nation Program? Making Spaces is a partnership between Google, the Maker Education Initiative, a project of Tides Center (Maker Ed) and the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh (CMP), which aims to develop a national strategy to sustainably integrate making into schools across the country. The program will employ an innovative model where multiple participating schools are paired with a nearby hub (such as a school district, a library, a museum, or a community organization). These hubs will provide the schools with professional development and support to help jumpstart and sustain maker education in classrooms through community engagement. In particular, hubs will work closely with schools to launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds and local support. During the 2016-2017 academic year, the Making Spaces program will have 10 participating hubs that will each work with 5 to 10 regional schools, creating a national resource network. What is the role of a Hub in the Making Spaces Project? Each Hub will work with 5-10 regional schools to raise community awareness, funding and capacity for integrating making in ways that meaningfully fit within each school. This may include providing professional development for teachers and administrators, programming for students, and assisting schools in creating and launching crowdfunding campaigns. In addition, each hub will participate in monthly Google hangouts and in-person network meet-ups in the Fall and Spring of the 2016-2017 school year. What are the roles of Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and Maker Ed in the Making Spaces Project? Maker Ed and CMP will act as “meta-hubs,” supporting, training, and connecting participating hubs as these hubs support, train, and connect schools. Additionally, both will serve and support their own cohort of schools, with CMP focusing in on the Pittsburgh area and Maker Ed providing virtual support for schools that want to participate but are not geographically located near a participating hub. What are the core responsibilities of each Hub? As a regional hub, your organization's primary responsibilities will be to: Select 5-10 local or regional schools with which to partner. This may include ● Reaching out to current or desired partner schools ● Developing and facilitating an application and selection process for partnership ● Meeting with schools to explain the project and the process Work with schools to find a vision and plan their maker education work. This may include ● Identifying a point person and project team at each school ● Assist schools in determining goals for their makerspace and/or maker program ● Work with schools to determine their crowdfunding goals and platform Assist schools in creating and launching their crowdfunding campaigns. This may include ● Assist schools in their creation of a fundraising budget, campaign and community outreach strategy, project page and photos and/or video (if applicable to crowdfunding platform) ● Provide professional development to help schools better understand making prior to creating their campaigns, if needed ● Once campaigns are launched, monitor campaigns and help schools spread the word through social media platforms and community and national outreach
