    Certificates and motivation

    I like the idea of giving out stickers at the end of each week sessions and certificate at the end of the term.
    But if it turns out that only few children are getting the stickers every week, how do you motivate other children?

    Selecting engaging projects

    It is important the projects are engaging otherwise the community will start to lose interest. Solving real world problem will enable members translate ideas to real life and entrepreneurship will serve as a motivation.

    Community and culture

    Yes i completely agree with Nick. I will also add that the makerspace should be secure in terms letting the community be responsible and staying away from avoidable risk

    The maker movement

    I have taught in a school coding club before. Helping the students to build games using Scratch. I look forward to starting a makerspace where I will definately incorporate these concepts

    Exams and me

    For me, exam make me nervous and uncertain. I'm always restless during exams. But exam is good because the score shows your level of comprehension and length of retention of ideas.
