Maker Space - Digital Makers: 

The space has been operational for around a month now and I have a great group of Year 7 and Year 8 students who are my guinea pigs.  My idea is to start small and ensure everything works and to understand what the limitations will be. 

The first major change was to move to PiServer - this is so that I can organise logins and students can save work easily.  I had assumed that students would be able to login to google drive to save, but had not realised that the Pis lack an internal clock and were always wrong; stopping them from connecting to most secure websites.

Moving to PiServer was easy and I haven't looked back since. First few projects have been some small ones with the micro:bit.  The boys loved making a reaction game using tin foil to create circuits.  Picutres to follow.
