This looked like an interesting project- blocks of wood, wire, and beads!  What could your students create?

The NEW Patent Office site

This site has it all-from inventions to coloring pages to trademarks.  There are sections for kids, teens, and parents.  I think the flip book activity might be a fun June activity. Consider this as a jumping off point for MakerSpace activities.

Soft Circuits

Doesn’t sound familiar?  Think LEDs and batteries- along with conductive thread and felt.  What I liked about this PDF is the straightforward directions and numerous illustrations.  It sure beats the circuits I made in elementary school!  This might be a great hands on project for your students.

Thinking of a maker space?

You might want to check out Maker Camp.  This site has video tutorials ( I watched the one where they created gears and made a fun lamp) as well as archived projects.
