A brand new makerspace called TinkerTech has opened up directly across the street from the Ypsilanti District Library! The librarians and girls walked over and participated in an Arduino workshop. We believe that designing learning spaces that act as counterspaces requires challenging traditional student/teacher boundaries and power dynamics. One way to do this is to encourage teachers to learn alongside the students. It was so much fun watching the librarians learn how to use Arduinos alongside the girls. Both the librarians and the girls walked away with new skills!
