Project Flow

We suggest you read Start Making! (PDF | Print | Free if you join the newsletter) before you start making with your campers. The book describes how their projects typically flow, from getting ready for the project to sharing projects at the end, but feel free to adapt this flow in any way to make it work for your campers. You’ll find many great ideas for leading projects with your campers that apply to all the different projects along the paths, and any other Maker projects you might lead.
