Classroom Architect is a FREE online resource designed specifically for the school environment.his would be great to do with some of the “stakeholders” for your Maker Space.
“Make” the Design
Designing the space could also be a great activity for a class or after school group. In the spirit of Maker students can create a floor plan using graph paper. Then produce a prototype using a variety of materials including balsa wood, legos, cardboard, or something else. A prototype would be great to display while the Maker Space is under construction.
Sketch Up the Design
Sketch Up Pro, is available FREE from InfoOhio and would be a great way for a class, or group of students to create a 3-D model of your Maker Space. Sketch Up is a great tool to incorporate into curriculum.
