74 Step 7: Market Your Program COMMON METHODS TO MOTIVATE PARTICIPATION Intrinsic Motivation A best-case scenario for a maker program is to be working with students who are intrinsically motivated to take part. Some of your students will have a deep-seated interest in one or more technologies that will keep them coming back class after class. Other students will require more prompting. For learners without a natural interest in technology, problem-based learning can be a fantastic tool to foster intrinsic interest in your program. Even for students as young as 5 years old, the opportunity to use a new tool or technology to address a real-world problem can be a powerful and life-changing experience. Social Motivation For middle school and high school students in particular, social motivation is a powerful tool. Teamwork that requires the full participation of all members of the group can help engage the full class. This approach is most effective in programs that are at least partially student-lead. “HOW A BIGGER PURPOSE CAN MOTIVATE STUDENTS TO LEARN” By KQED’s Mindshift team http://bit.ly/ PurposeLearning School Credit Academically-driven students will be more likely to participate fully if they are able to receive school credit for your program. Competitions/Contests Competition for small prizes can be a fun way to lighten the mood and encourage engagement, particularly for group work. Applied learning opportunities that enable students to develop and pitch solutions to real companies is a great way to not only motivate engagement from students, but to also involve the broader community in your program.

75 Step 7: Market Your Program Students Pay Participants who are required to pay for a program are more likely to attend. Although free programs can reduce barriers to entry, they often result in overblown registration numbers that make them difficult to plan. Application-Only A selective application process can increase the perceived value of a program for participants and increase attendance and participation. Stipends Some programs - particularly those targeting low-income and at-risk populations - have found success with providing stipends to students who successfully complete programs. This means participants are paid a predefined amount of money when they complete the program. This approach enables learners who may otherwise need to work to make time for your program (and valuable skill building!). GO TO STEP:
