58 Step 5: Skill Up LEARN NEW SKILLS In the previous step you may have decided to tackle a few activities that you’ve never encountered before. That’s awesome! There are many maker skills you can begin to learn with only a few hours of work. One great way to get started is to simply complete the activities you’ve chosen for your student in advance. Most of the resources in the Activity Guide include extensive instructions and documentation that will help you walk through each experience. If you have questions, utilize the forums listed in Step 9 to discover answers within the maker education community. Completing your activities in advance will help you build confidence before introducing them to students. As you saw in the Maker Program Activity Guide, many maker activities can be completed with relatively low-tech resources. Cardboard, fabrics, duct tape, paper and pencils can take you a surprisingly long way. On the other hand, if you’re incorporating technology and software you’ve never used before, building foundational knowledge with those tools will enable you to facilitate learning as smoothly as possible. To help you get started, we’ve put together a List of Educator Learning Resources.. This list includes the following information for over forty self-directed learning resources to help you gain experience with new skills and tools before your program begins.
