<aside> 🎯 Guide for Mentors who run Maker Clubs.
</aside>
There are three components that support the formation of your Maker Club:
Adult ➜
Children ➜
Environment ➜
Children learn by watching and imitating the behaviour of adults. In a Maker Club, the adults are your mentors, principal, and industry professionals whom you entrust to demonstrate the ideals promoted by Chumbaka.
Mentors model the Chumbaka approach to learning and developing life skills. They also provide technical advice and inspire members to never settle but to keep striving for greater knowledge.
The principal does not need to be the subject-matter expert; instead, she directs enquires to the right people. The principal also manages the Maker Club schedule and the expectations of parents, mentors, and Yodas.
Yodas bring external perspectives to the Maker Club. They are representatives from the industry, with experience in applying learning into application. Their perspectives are invaluable for members to appreciate how their learning is applied in real life.
A dynamic club comprises children of different ages. Because club members work on their own personal projects, they progress at their own pace. The absence of competition leads to cooperation among the peers.
To join the Maker Club, students are required to fulfill the following requirements.
An orderly and well-maintained center reflects peace and safety. Such a learning space invites club members to feel welcome and to work on their projects. Complementing the environment are the learning resources and project mapping, to scaffold any club member who may need a little nudge in the right direction.
Like a co-working space, the Maker Space gives members a safe environment to inspire, innovate, and interact with their peers. Create opportunities for members to find like-minded friends by organizing talks or simply creating a pantry for members to huddle around. Digital Maker Hub - Setup
