New Maker Program Starter Kit

We are pleased to inform you that the NEW Maker Program Starter Kit is live and ready for download on http://www.makingstartshere.com/teach/ . This kit provides all the activities and resources needed to bring making into K-12 classrooms, libraries, after-school programs – anywhere making thrives. Please share this with your Academic Partners. 

Why a Maker Program Starter Kit?
* Educators are asking. Time and time again we heard teachers frustrated by wanting to implement making but not sure where to start.
* There is a gap in the market. Through research we found a lack of resources to help educators quickly and easily start a maker program.
* It’s a jump start. By providing an easy to use set of instructions we create an explicit connection between making, design, creativity, and learning (and our software).

What’s unique about the Starter Kit?
* The content moves beyond theory and into practice by providing hands-on activities, content and resources that enable educators to confidently answer the question “How do I get started”.
* Customizable Activity templates are downloadable via Google docs as Open Educational Resources (OER).
* Aligns perfectly with Autodesk’s new brand story and tagline – make anything.
