If there was one word to describe my Makerspace experience it would be “WOW”. I Basically felt like i was back in Kindergarten playing with all these new toys i have never seen before, except they weren’t just toys. Aside from many innovations laying around the room, i stuck with “Little Bits”. As “Little Bits” catch phrase goes, “Its the easiest way to get started with electronics”, it is what it says. I just thought it would be cool building a contraption that is easy as sticking two magnets together. You add different components consisting of a battery, on and off switch, LED lights, horn, or a rotational engine and bring the contraption to life! It was my first time playing with this toy and I’m sure it won’t be my last. You can put the pieces in different order aside from the battery (which always comes first) and create a circuit of your own desire. I loved it because it was so easy to use and it was fun. In my experience with “Little Bits” i connected the battery to a power switch which connected to a horn which then connected to a rotational engine which by all means I attached one of my classmates origami stork to the device. I pushed the power button, heard the horn go off and watched the stork spin in circles. Although it might not be as fascinating to others, i was quite amazed at what i made. As far as learning anything, imagination is the key. Imagine something you’re able of doing, making, accomplishing and then make it happen. If i had a little more time to play with the other toys in class, it would probably be the Lego set just because i love building things.
