This is a 4 week online workshop.  You can access the classroom 24/7.

There is a kind of revolution going on in programming,  and museums are one
of the leaders of the *movement*.  Whether you call them Maker,  Community,
or Hacker Spaces, or Maker Faires these DIY working areas in libraries and
museums (there was even one this Summer held at the White House) have
become a popular meeting and creative program space for patrons of all
ages.

This timely workshop will outline what Maker Spaces are and where they are
located, and what they offer participants of all ages. The workshop will
explore the best examples, and present *how to* advice, practical idea
suggestions, and resources for creating art, science, career awareness, and
hands on collaboration and learning into your museum or art center.

Much more than a make it and take it, the Maker Space provides the tools,
instruction, and company of others that inspire and enable creative
making.  The programs are most popular with teens and young adults but can
include all ages.

Maker program participant activities range give a practical application to
 learning Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.  Programs
include Fine Art Painting skills to creating Ancient Astronomical
Instruments and everything in between. Co-creaters and subject experts may
collaborate to build robots, a new business, 3-D graphic T-shirts,  or
bicycle sculpture. It's not just primarily physical “doing” that happens at
the Maker Space.  Teens Maker workshops can include poetry making, writing
workshops, language coding and other intellectual pursuits. More
