A makerspace within Bacchus Marsh Primary School (BMPS) would provide an innovative resource for the school and broader community. This collaborative hub would give users the opportunity to not only dream and design, but make and create to see their ideas come to life.
A large, open workspace would be equipped with a range of developing technologies, including 3D printers, 2D and 3D scanners, programmable items such as Lego, robots and drones and software-based interactive learning tools.
The makerspace would be used to deliver engaging education programs and foster greater connections with community and business through workshops and projects.
There is a critical need to engage students with developing technologies to address future skills needs, particularly as the advanced manufacturing sector is a priority of the growing Central Highlands region. Makerspaces are recognised as powerful learning environments, allowing students to plan, produce, communicate and evaluate designs in the physical and digital world. This:
•encourages self-directed learning;
•develops real-world problem-solving skills;
•promotes critical thinking and creativity;
•fosters highly desirable skills for future jobs.
Bringing the community into the makerspace provides opportunities for cross-generational learning and skill sharing. There will be ongoing benefits as students become innovative local and global citizens.
