MAKERSPACES - Design Thinking Model

Goal: Activate access to innovative learning spaces and investigate further AI integration while utilizing design thinking models

• 22 /23 Each division creates a Makers Manifesto for the MakerSpaces/Workshops; each should be unique to the division’s needs.

Priority Actions: 

1. Use the audit of spaces and resources to implement improved use and access for students

2. Review how frequently Makerspaces and tools across the divisions are being accessed and by which grade levels

3. Defining and determining where  opportunities for Artificial Intelligence(AI) live in the Makerspace

4. Keeping a record of balance and equity of opportunities across divisions

5. Continue to develop the use of the various design thinking models throughout the divisions and document reflections

Measuring Success:

1. Looking at something more standardised across the primary and elementary divisions - Upper School has own

2. Team decided these would be co created documents

3. Compiled a list of pillar FIS documents to connect the maker manifestos to the school.  Example (ATL charts, IB learning Profile). Team also included the SDGs

4. Team has a running list of created manifestos examples found on Table 3 in Manifesto Document 2.0 

Measuring Success: 

1. Co-develop with faculty and student input a division/grade appropriate set of MakerSpace manifestos to define space usage, design principals and a culture of innovation. 

Timeline: 

• Have examples for all divisions both campuses by end of school year 21/22
