32 Step 2: Define Your Vision Activity 2 : Maker Strengthsfinder ACTIVITY 2: MAKER STRENGTHSFINDER This activity is designed to help you identify potential strengths in your team and program. You’ll walk through eight categories to inventory your existing skills, assets, equipment, and materials. You’ll then generate a “score” for each category that will enable you to compare yours strengths across all categories. At the end of this activity you’ll have a better idea where to start when you begin selecting curriculum and activities for your program. Here are the categories: 3D DESIGN & PRINTING Including additive manufacturing and computer-aided design (CAD) CODING Including programming for software, web, apps, microcontrollers and videogames GRAPHIC DESIGN Including wireframing, data visualization, and design for print, web, and media TEXTILES Including sewing, leatherworking, and e-textiles DIGITAL MEDIA Including video and audio production, photography, and animation ELECTRONICS Including circuits, sensors, robotics, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Makey Makey and more GENERAL FABRICATION Including subtractive manufacturing, metalwork, woodwork and lo-fi prototyping SPACE & STORAGE We’ll also review requirements for space and storage. TAKE NOTE You alone are responsible for your maker program! Starter Kit resources are provided under a BY-NC- SA Creative Commons license. See pg. 2 for more information. TIME: 20 minutes PEOPLE: 1-10 MATERIALS: Maker Strengthsfinder Worksheet (print one-sided), Markers MAKER STRENGTHSFINDER WORKSHEET This is a Maker Program Starter Kit Resource, available in the appendix and on Google Drive. GO TO STEP:
33 Step 2: Define Your Vision Activity 2 : Maker Strengthsfinder 1 2 3 Each of the eight maker categories is listed on a separate page in the Maker Strengthsfinder Worksheet. Lay all nine pages out on a table or tape them to a wall so all participants can easily view them. Distribute markers to participants. Each person should have a different color. Introduce the activity to the group and make sure everyone understands the instructions. Each person is going to place check marks next to the skills or resources your program has access to. a b You can place multiple check marks beside items listed under the Facilitator Skills column. For example, if four people are completing the activity and you all have experience using a 3D printer, you should have four different-colored check marks beside that item in the Facilitator Skills column. You should only place one check mark beside items in the Resource columns (basic, intermediate and advanced), as these resources will likely be shared by your team. For example, you should not have four check marks beside “drone” if you only have one drone. 4 Next, invite participants to add any relevant skills or resources that aren’t listed. Write these in the best-fitting category. 5 Finish by using the formula included in the worksheet to calculate a “score” for each category. Anything over 0% is a win! GO TO STEP:
