All the best to you and the kids at Hubbard Woods IDEA lab as everyone has the tools to make and create.<br />~SuzyGarden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381204646734686433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-65550895389255172672015-08-25T13:12:19.082-04:002015-08-25T13:12:19.082-04:00Todd, you are innovator of the year in your state,...Todd, you are innovator of the year in your state, region & possibly further afield.<br /><br />I just got up & found our daughter's duct tape (the one roll she didn't take off with her to Boston. Felling well-challenged & inspired by you.) <br /><br />Your writing is invigorating & the eyedears about tangible items made by the mind to hand connection gives me great hope for students everywhere, of all ages & that would be us, too. Your makerspace is going to make news, I'm sure.<br /><br />I followed most of the links especially the informative July Zen Librarian post from NY state ( & M.I. T) & the SLJ issue, which I tweeted. <br /><br />many many boxes (mine include a basket, flower bouquet, bowl of fruit) of thanks!jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-43159382343998987932015-08-24T23:05:26.434-04:002015-08-24T23:05:26.434-04:00Todd...I love this, love this, love this, love thi...Todd...I love this, love this, love this, love this! <br />Can you tell that I love this?<br />I've always said the the BOX is a better present than what is inside. In my kindergarten class back in the day, we used boxes for pretend play, creative play, crafting, and more. My own kids couldn't wait till we unpacked the new fridge...so they could use the BOX. My grandson built a jet plane with boxes and styrofoam when he was 4. <br />Hats off to you...I'm climbing on board the makerspace express. ;)Vivian Kirkfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745749939523672713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-16067276264076097362015-08-24T20:46:57.722-04:002015-08-24T20:46:57.722-04:00Patricia,

Improve implies failure, ideation, growth.
