Listen and Learn

Here are some recommended listening audio and video resources from the Maker Camp staff.

These media links are intended to serve as inspiration for Maker Camp Member Sites. They encapsulate the Maker Movement, why Maker Education is important, and how we can find the Maker in each of us. There are also video playlists featuring previous Maker Camp livestreams (available on our YouTube channel Kids Make) that both provide ideas for projects but also model how to run a Maker Camp program. Enjoy!

Maker Camp
Maker Camp is a do-it-yourself online resource to help leaders like you organize a summer camp that engages children in making. Our goal is to provide you and your campers with the inspiration and the helpful resources, along with many possible projects to fit a wide range of interests and abilities. The idea is to focus on making as a playful, social activity. Maker Camp provides enough support for anyone to get started. Making provides experiences that help children become self-directed learners and good problem-solvers.
