199. My Favorite Starter Projects for Makerspace Success [Back to School STEM Tips Series]

If you have a low or no budget going into your STEM classroom but are wondering what lessons to teach kids, my go-to is Makerspace lessons. There is some prep work to gather supplies to make it happen, but it’s one of the best ways to have hands-on lessons in your classroom that are still engaging. I’ll be sharing my top three favorite themes when teaching Makerspace to students in K-5. These are units where every grade level has its own lesson to jump into, along with what you can do if you only see kids once a week.Resources Mentioned:Easy 1-Day Makerspace Challenges STEM Survival Camp K-5 LessonsEarth’s Engineer’s K-5 LessonsSTEM-usement Park K-5 LessonsHead to the show notes for a full transcript of this episode, pictures, and all the links: https://naomimeredith.com/episode199Download my Free K-5 STEM & Teach Year-Long PlanLeave a voice message HERE for the podcast with your questions and comments!TpT Shop: Naomi Meredith | naomimeredith.com/tptshopCourse: STEM Teacher 101Workshops: K-2 STEM Planning 3-5 STEM Planning K-5 STEM Planning BundleStellar School-Wide News STEM Career Day1:1 STEM Coaching Support: naomimeredith.com/coachingCheck out more inspiration on her website: naomimeredith.comConnect with her on Instagram: @naomimeredith_YouTube Channel: Naomi MeredithFacebook Group: The Elementary STEM Coach Community | Technology & STEM for K-6 TeachersCheck out my other podcast for kids: The STEM Career Quest
