Pop-Up Education Makerspaces
summary
Pop-up makerspaces run across a year at Monash set up short public events where pre-service teachers build hands-on stations using micro:bits, Bee-Bots, VR, littleBits and a Rube Goldberg maze; two schools take part in a two-day “LOSK in Space” rotation that ends with a collaborative puzzle. Prototypes range from a working solar-powered boat entered in a competition to a metal-detector and a Minecraft Federation Square redesign; novices learn block coding, a math teacher unexpectedly discovers magnet properties, and engagement measurably rises.
