After hearing from my colleagues about how they might integrate communication and professional skills development into my design challenge, I have rounded out my Linoit board and am ready to issue this as a design challenge!

The new Linoit board includes consideration of who the designers might need to communicate with in order to make their mobile/pop-up Makerspace a reality. As I look at it, I realize I haven’t made it explicit that students must be included in this process as well! How can we design something intended for students to use without including their voice?

Additionally, this design challenge will include a seminar or workshop to help teach how to incorporate the Makerspace into lesson plans. Some teachers may think that a Makerspace is just a play-space, and this session will help them realize how much more it can be.

I’ve included both a screenshot and the link to the board below:
