#makerspaces

Our makerspace has just upgraded the door system, so this stuff is going spare, and I would hate for it to be thrown out!

I just can't stop doing projects... I'm really happy with how this sign turned out. Spent only two days working on this, thanks to my library's makerspace!

 Of course, you should look for classes to help you along the way as many maker spaces have opened up recently. For this book, you can find a soft cover or an e-book here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-metalsmith-societys-guide-to-jewelry-making-corkie-bolton/1141056193?ean=9781645675860

With @makerfaire less than 3 weeks away my students are working hard at putting the final touches on their projects. This Lego Ev3 fan is being created by one of my 6th graders. He would appreciate your suggestions on how he can upgrade his project! What would you add to give this project a little more creativity! The crazier the idea the better!! - - - - - #lego #legoeducation #legomindstorms #legomindstormsev3 #ev3 #mindstorms #robotics #makerfaire @makekorea #maker #makerspace #makerspaces #makersgonnamake #edtech #techteacher #elementaryteacher #stem #stemeducation #stemkids #innovation #diyelectronics (at Busan, South Korea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3E-Z_en_-G/?igshid=1qeokv2flnpyq

As always I am late to the game on this #meetthemakerweek run by  @joannehawker ! Here it goes!  •Who• I am Danielle Valerie Green! I am an illustrator with a passion for animals and babes. I love my 3 cats Gus, Bruce and Dale Cooper very much and they inspire me everyday. I spend my days in my studio living the dream! I love ramen and watching horror movies or listing to true crime podcasts. I am a huge marijuana advocate. •What• I make all sorts of arts! My passion is watercolor painting. All of my creations are derived from my hand painted art. I turn my illustrations into stationery, various sized prints, enamel pins and brooches! My specialty is cat wears, but I do love all animals so very much. When I am not creating I am working on personal commissions, responding to your emails,, run social media accounts, mailing lists, wholesale orders, play with my cats and take walks with them. •Where, When & Workspace • I am lucky and get to work from our home studio. We moved from our apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn to our cute little house in Jersey a few years ago. I do not miss the rent one bit. But I do miss the subway. I loathe driving. Usually I work from 7am-9pm. The joys of being a sole business lady boss. I like to work on a clean flat surface. I often tidy the entire room before I can get started on anything. I like to hang art from people who inspire me. I share this space with my husband so I have to put up with some metal posters, otherwise it would be all animal art. When I was a kid I wished my arm hair was fur so bad because I hoped I could turn into a horse or a cat. Thanks for reading along and learning about me! Where you a weird kid too? . . . . #art #illustration #illustrator #pinmaker #maker #meettheartist #artist #instaartist #makerspace #makerspaces #makerspacenorth #artiststudio #whereiwork #creativespace #meetthemaker #createeveryday #pingame #pingamestrong #pincollection #brooch #broochoftheday #pinoftheday #flair  #flairgame #pinswag #pincollector #pinlife #pinstagram #pinsanity  #abmstyle #abmlifeiscolorful #bandofun #cylcollective  #myunicornlife @etsy

After a brief love affair with 3D printers, I realized that they kinda aren’t the best for libraries (especially rural libraries). Expensive, time consuming, flaky, and not the best way of getting patrons more engaged with technology or science-geared learning. In a lot of the libraries I’ve worked with they tend to end up collecting dust in a random corner.

It closes on 28th August, click here to help out.
