Makerspace Inspiration August 2023 – Links From Across The Globe

Need some makerspace inspiration? Each month, I curate a collection of links from around the world that can fuel your Makerspace endeavors.

Here are the links from August 2023.

  1. This Nigerian teacher built a Raspberry Pi-powered portable speaker with his students. All with recycled parts. Amazing.
  2. The Scratch Link App was updated to work on Mac laptops. This app is perfect for using scratch to code micro:bits, Lego Mindstorm robots, and other cool gadgets.
  3. This tool lets you easily and quickly create step-by-step guides for your students. I can’t wait to try it out.
  4. The open-source vector drawing tool Inkscape received many improvements in its new 1.3 version. Check out this video for all the new features.
  5. What a fantastic resource for showing your students how to improve their sketches.
  6. I always wanted to have a small photo studio for my students to document their projects. I might finally make it happen with this fabulous DIY project from Adafruit.
  7. The Make: Education Forum is going virtual this year and will happen on September 22nd and 23rd.
  8. I want to make this in my makerspace.
  9. These reclaimed notebooks are absolutely fantastic. Some of its pages feature maps, random lines, text, or even technical drawings. It is a great way to challenge your creativity and bring inspiration to your student’s notetaking practice.
