Makerspace Experience:
On a regular Wednesday our course took a different route from our usual class time. We had the chance to be creative at Makerspace, the experience was great and I had a lot of fun playing with most of the toys there. Since I was sitting on the Lego table from the beginning of class I decided to give it a try and built something out of Lego’s. When I was a kid I used to play with the jumbo size Lego’s but never with the type of Lego’s that I saw in class. I also didn’t find Lego’s very entertaining as a kid; however after Makerspace I can’t say the same. Playing with Lego’s was actually very intense and fun at the same time because I kept changing my mind in terms of what I wanted to build, so I just began picking up pieces that I thought were “cool” and began putting them together. At first I thought I was building a nightclub then the structure started looking like a jail cell and finally I decide to make a ship. Making the ship with Lego’s was actually more work than I thought because some piece were very small and at times I couldn’t find a certain piece that I need since we had to share the pieces with other students. However I managed to create a decent ship model that I was appease to create. If we were to have more time I would of liked to play around with the origami because it also involves creating and is something I enjoy doing. What I enjoyed the most of playing with Lego’s is the creativity process, I believe as we grow up we lose that sense of being creative and using our imagination. Lego’s enables you to be creative. Overall the whole experience was enjoyable and it gave me a chance to play around with technology that I haven’t seen yet. It also made me realize that technology is expanding faster than ever by creating stuff that are fun and interesting for everyone.
