Cabanga ngalokhu: usegunjini elinabaklami abanomqondo ofanayo, abahleli bohlelo, namakhodi. Nonke nifuna into efanayo: ukusungula izinto ezintsha. Indawo yokwenza. Manje ake ucabange leso sikhala-izinto eziqanjiwe eziyinqaba, ukuvunguza kwezinto zikagesi kanye nephunga likawoyela wokusika. Ahhhh.
Ungase ube yingxenye ye-makerspace. Kungenzeka ukuthi uqale eyodwa. Ungakwazi ngempela ufuna ukuqala eyodwa, kungaba egalaji lakho noma ukuthi 50,000 ishede edolobheni ukuthi elinde othile ukuyithenga. Kungenzeka uke wabhekana nenjabulo nobuhlungu bebhizinisi elinjalo, kodwa uma ungakayitholi, qhubeka ufunda.
U-John Spencer, owayenguthisha wesikole esiphakathi, uprofesa wasekolishi, kanye nomdidiyeli wohlaka lokucabanga lokuklama lwabafundi be-K-12, wabhala indatshana mayelana namava akhe ekwakheni indawo yokwenza izinto kubafundi bakhe. Akayena umsunguli omkhulu; ufuna nje ukunikeza abafundi bakhe indawo yokudala imibono yabo. Enolwazi oluyisisekelo lokubhala amakhodi, ubuchwepheshe obulula, kanye nesabelomali esincane, uJohn wafunda izinto ezintathu zokubhekana nemikhawulo.
1. Ungahleli kakhulu vele usebenze ngalokho onakho
Inguqulo yokuqala yanoma yini ayilokothi ibe umkhiqizo wokugcina. Akulungile neze ukucabanga ngokweqile ngokuthile bese ugcina ungakwenzi nhlobo. Esikhundleni sokukhathazeka ngokuthi i-makerspace yakho iyimbobo ephelele lapho imibono ingachuma khona, vele uphumele lapho futhi usebenze kukho.
Thola i-MVP (umkhiqizo omncane ongasebenza) yendawo yakho yokwenza ilula kodwa ecubungula zonke izinto eziyisisekelo. Ngale ndlela, ungakwazi ukwengeza okwengeziwe esikhaleni sokuqala ngenkathi wenza umsebenzi. Kuyohlala kukhona isikhathi sokwenza izinguquko, kodwa ayisoze yaba khona indlela yokubuyela emuva ngaso sonke isikhathi uphupha emini mayelana ne-makerspace.
2. Awudingi izinto ezihamba phambili ukuze ube nendawo enhle yokwenza
Kungaba iphrinta ye-3D noma i-iMac entsha kakhulu, awudingi amagajethi amaningi abizayo ukuze indawo yakho yokwenza izinto isebenze kahle. Unenkinga ngomakhelwane abanomsindo? Namathisela amabhokisi amaqanda ezindongeni. Awunayo isofthiwe entsha yokumodela ye-3D? Ngezinye izikhathi ubumba lusebenza ngendlela efanayo.
Inqobo nje uma ungakhohlwa insiza ebaluleke kunazo zonke (ubuchopho bakho, uma ngabe ubuzibuza), izinto eziningi zingahle zenziwe kabusha ukuze zivumelane nezidingo zakho. Ungathola ezinye izindlela ezishibhile ezitholakalayo njengoba isikhathi siqhubeka.
3. Usizo oluvela kwabanye luhamba ibanga elide
Ngisho noma ungaba inzalo ka-Einstein kanye nekhompuyutha enkulu, labo buhlakani ngeke bakuyise kude ngaphandle kwabanye abantu abazokusekela. Ngeke nje wenze umsebenzi owengeziwe, kodwa futhi unabanye ababelana ngombono wakho we-makerspace kanye nalokho ofuna ukukufeza ngakho.
Bangakwazi nokukugcwalisa ngezihloko ongazazi kahle. Ngisho noma u-John Spencer bekunguye yedwa uthisha endaweni yakhe yokwenza izinto, ukusebenzisana nomngane wakhe u-Javier nabafundi bakhe kwamsiza wanweba ama-horizons akhe. Ngokubona ukuthi uthisha wabo uzimisele ngokufunda, abafundi bahlakulela umqondo ofanayo nowumnyombo wokuqamba izinto ezintsha.
Lawa ngamathiphu ambalwa ayisisekelo okufanele uwakhumbule lapho wenza eyakho i-makerspace. Uma uqaphela ukuthi imibono engcono kakhulu ivela ekuhlanganyeleni kunokuba ube nobuchwepheshe obubiza kangakanani, ungagxila ekwenzeni okuthile okuhluke ngokuphelele.
Isihloko kumele sifundwe uma uke wacabanga ngokuvula i-makerspace noma ukuguqula igaraji lakho libe igumbi lephrojekthi. U-John unenselelo nawe ekupheleni kwesihloko - ungase uqale ukujuluka uma uyibona, futhi ube nesiphetho esibuhlungu sokuzikhahlela esinqeni, ekugcineni udale leyo makerspace.
