>>GERRY: THE GOAL OF A NEW MAKER
SPACE IS TO TEACH KIDS ABOUT
STEM CONCEPTS AND MAKING SKILLS,
WHILE ALSO HELPING THEM CONNECT

2
00:00:06.106 --> 00:00:13.146
TO REAL-WORLD PROBLEM SOLVING.
A $50,000 GRANT FROM THE GLICK
FUND IS MAKING IT ALL POSSIBLE!
THE MAKER YOUTH FOUNDATION WILL

3
00:00:13.146 --> 00:00:19.953
USE THE MONEY TO CONVERT A
VACANT APARTMENT BUILDING IN
INDIANAPOLIS INTO A MAKERSPACE.
1ST MAKER SPACE PRESIDENT AND

4
00:00:19.953 --> 00:00:25.959
FOUNDER OF THE FOUNDATION KIM
BRAND AND EDUCATION DIRECTOR
MARY RINEHART ARE HERE TO
EXPLAIN HOW THE LEARNING AND

5
00:00:25.959 --> 00:00:35.935
CREATIVITY LAB WILL ENCOURAGE
KIDS...AND EVEN ADULTS.
WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM.
>> THANK YOU.

6
00:00:35.935 --> 00:00:44.444
>> I WILL START WITH YOU KIM,
THE WHOLE IDEA OF MAKER SPACE,
TALK ABOUT THAT FIRST.
THE MAKER SPACE MOVEMENT IS

7
00:00:44.444 --> 00:00:50.750
REALLY WILD FIRE ALL OVER
COUNTRY.
>> HUNDRED THOUSAND PLUS
ATTENDEES AT FAIRS.

8
00:00:50.750 --> 00:01:01.428
IT REALLY SPEAKS TO THE
CREATIVITY AND ENTHUSIASM FOR
EXHIBITING HANDCRAFTED ART AND
MECHANICAL PRODUCTS.

9
00:01:01.428 --> 00:01:12.138
FROM ROBOTS AND DRONES AND
PRINTERS, THE CAPACITY FOR
INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES LIKE
THE MAKER SPACE TECH AND

10
00:01:12.138 --> 00:01:19.245
SHORTRIDGE ARE UNRIVALED FOR
BRINGING OUT CREATIVITY AND
CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS.
>> THIS IS REALLY THE FIRST

11
00:01:19.245 --> 00:01:28.221
TIME AS WE WERE TALKING IT IS
BEING DONE IN -- YOU'VE TAKEN
THE CONCEPT INTO AN APARTMENT
COMPLEX ON THE EAST SIDE OF

12
00:01:28.221 --> 00:01:34.828
INDIANAPOLIS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT STRUCK ME AS ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES IN ANY ENRICHMENT

13
00:01:34.828 --> 00:01:44.838
PROGRAM WAS TRANSPORTATION.
SO WHY WOULDN'T WE PUT THE MAKER
SPACE FOR THE KIDS LIVE AND IN A
SAFE PLACE SURROUNDED BY THE

14
00:01:44.838 --> 00:01:51.211
FAMILIAR FACILITIES THAT THEY
GROW UP AND LEAVE EVERY DAY TO
GO TO SCHOOL THEY COULD COME
BACK AND USE THE MAKER SPACE TO

15
00:01:51.211 --> 00:02:00.854
BUILD WHAT'S INTERESTING TO THEM
>> MARY, TALK ABOUT THE MAKER
SPACE ONCE IT'S UP AND RUNNING,
WHICH WILL BE SOON.

16
00:02:00.854 --> 00:02:06.726
WHAT KIDS AND ADULTS WILL BE
EXPOSED TO.
>> WE ARE HOPING TO EXPOSE
STUDENTS FROM PRESCHOOL THROUGH

17
00:02:06.726 --> 00:02:14.667
HIGH SCHOOL AND EVEN ADULTS IN
THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE IT
AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO COME TO
PROGRAMS FROM 4-6:00 P.M.,

18
00:02:14.667 --> 00:02:24.677
ESSENTIALLY AFTER SCHOOL DOING
PROGRAMS WHERE WE HAVE AN
OUTCOME LIKE MAKING A TOY OR
MAKING A TOWER OF SOME KIND AND

19
00:02:24.677 --> 00:02:32.552
OFTEN MAKING SCHOOL PRODUCTS AND
OTHER THINGS THEY ARE INTERESTED
IN MAKING.
>> THESE ARE KIDS AND THE

20
00:02:32.552 --> 00:02:40.560
ADULTS ARE GAINING SKILLS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S ALL CENTERED AROUND JOB
READY SKILLS AND CERTIFICATIONS

21
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:49.702
THAT EMPLOYERS FIND VALUABLE.
WE ARE HOPING TO CERTIFIED
STUDENTS WITH BAD JUST THAT THE
CITY PUT TOGETHER FOR JOB READY

22
00:02:49.702 --> 00:03:00.113
INDY AS WELL AS THE GOVERNORS
WORTH OF THICK CERTIFICATE.
>> THIS IS A PATHWAY FOR
EMPLOYMENT.

23
00:03:00.113 --> 00:03:05.852
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> WE TRAIN KIDS ALL THE TIME
AND I SAY WHAT ARE THE LINES
BETWEEN THE NUMBER AND THEY

24
00:03:05.852 --> 00:03:12.659
DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
IMAGINE BEING IN ADVANCED
MANUFACTURING AND LOOKING FOR
FOLKS WITH THOSE KINDS OF SKILLS

25
00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:19.799
THAT REQUIRE CRITICAL THINKING,
PROBLEM-SOLVING.
NOT JUST LEARNING HOW TO TAKE A
TEST BUT HOW TO INTERACT WITH

26
00:03:19.799 --> 00:03:28.474
MACHINES AND USE LASER CUTTERS
AND 3D PRINTERS AND I ALSO WANT
TO TALK ABOUT ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
WE USE THESE TOOLS IN ENOUGH

27
00:03:28.474 --> 00:03:36.683
SCHOOLS TO FIND KIDS WHO AFTER
THEY MAKE SOMETHING SAY CAN I
SELL THIS AND I SAY ABSOLUTELY.
FIND A WAY TO TURN THIS TO AN

28
00:03:36.683 --> 00:03:45.825
INCOME STREAM SO THESE HAVE BEEN
USED THAT WAY.
>> WE HAVE ABOUT 20 SECONDS
LEFT, BUT IN TERMS OF THIS IS A

00:03:45.825 --> 00:03:52.298
PILOT.

INCOME APARTMENT COMPLEXES AND

31
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:08.915
KIDS STRUGGLING TO DO WELL IN
SCHOOL AND WE THINK THAT THESE
MAKING SKILLS GIVE THEM

00:04:08.915 --> 00:04:15.221
AGENCY THEY CAN TAKE TO THE REST
OF THEIR LIFE.
