Makerspaces are design studios, places where people create and learn through their creating.
Native American Dwellings from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Makerspaces in schools usually have 3D printers.Poorer schools with students from low-income communities usually do not have access to these resources.
Makerspaces can also be design studios where art supplies and lots of good junk-- boxes, packaging and things we throw away--become the materials we build with.
Drawing of an Eskimo Igloo
North, Central and South America's Indian nations were producers, creators, designers, engineers, astronomers, weavers of cloth and makers of all items that made life possible, from kitchen implements and bedding, clothing, jewelry and portable ways to move things.
Homes were designed to have heat and cooling arrangements, comforts, and trade between nations was ongoing.
There were agronomists--expert soil and crop managers--scientists who knew to save seeds, cross pollinate, and grow foods we eat today:
corn, maize, quinoa chocolate vanilla hundreds of kinds of potatoes tomatoes squash and pumpkins peppers and chile peppers all kinds of beans sunflowers
In this workshop, we'll learn how people created, solved problems, and designed American Indian dwellings.
4. VIEW THE BIOMES, REVIEW THE HABITATS AND SEE THE NATIVE AMERICAN HOMES-- CHOOSE A MODEL TO MAKE WITH THINGS YOU HAVE on hand to use or design in a computer program--CAD, Minecraft, or other.
Each type of dwelling in the list addresses and solves the problems of the biome and habitat where the people were living.
The World's Biomes
Pictures of the world's 6 biomes: fresh water, marine (sea), forest, desert, grassland, tundra.- University of California Museum of Paleontology Habitat"The main components of a habitat are shelter, water, food, and space. A habitat is said to have a suitable arrangement when it has the correct amount of all of these. Sometimes, a habitat can meet some components of a suitable arrangement, but not all." -National Geographic Resource Library
