Maker Moment

Last year, Izzy Goldstein, 12, learned in science class that we can reduce air pollution by using natural energy sources, such as wind and solar power, instead of gasoline. This made her wonder what she and her schoolmates could do to help the environment. "Maybe if my school got a bike rack(架子),more kids would bike to school instead of depending on cars," Izzy told TIME for Kids.Rather than ask their school to buy a rack, Izzy and her friends decided to make a bike rack by themselves.

They came up with a design. They calculated how much wood they might need. They measured howlong the boards should be. They used power tools to cut them and put them together safely. And they didall this in their school's makerspace.

Makerspaces are workspaces where kids can learn to create objects using technology, engineering,art and design. These spaces often feature a mix of high-tech machines, such as 3D printers and robotickits(工具箱),and simple materials like clay and cardboard.

Izzy goes to the Harley School in New York. It is one of a growing number of schools across theUnited States with makerspaces. Makerspaces are largely inspired by Maker Faires(创客盛会),whichare events that give people a chance to share their creative projects. Each year, about 250,000 peopleattend the Maker Faires in San Mateo, California, and Queens, New York. Maker Faires have alsospread to countries around the world, including Egypt, France and Thailand.

Schools are introducing makerspaces to the curriculum(课程)because makerspaces give kids away to have ideas and build something from those ideas. Kima Enerson is a makerspace teacher atthe Harley School. But she says kids can become extraordinary makers in an ordinary classroom, too.In Harley's Lower School (pre-kindergarten to Grade 4), students learn about the basics of computersoftware. By third grade, they study coding and how electricity works. In sixth grade, they learn to safelyuse tools such as drills and saws. When students get to high school, Enerson shows them how to applytheir skills to solve global problems. "Throughout the process of designing, students are learning tocreate something to better the world," she says

A young man went to see a wise man, saying that after graduation, he set goals for himself, but years later he still achieved nothing. The wise man was reading in the small house by the river, when the young man found him. With a smile, the wise man heard the young man 's words, and said to him, "Come to help me boil a pot of water first!" The young man saw a big pitcher 水罐) standing in the corner, next to a small fire stove(炉子),but he found no firewood in the stove, so he went out for it.

He came back with some dead wood, filled up the pot with water and put on the stove. He put some firewood in the stove and burned up, but because the pot was too large, when the wood burned out, the water did not boil. Then he ran off to get firewood. When he went back, the water had nearly turned cold. This time he became smart, so he was not eager (急切的)to light the fire, but went out to look for some firewood again. Because the firewood was well prepared, the water boiled pretty soon.

The wise man suddenly asked him, "If there is not enough firewood, how should you boil the water?" The young man thought for a moment and shook his head. The wise man said, "If so, pour out some water of the pot!" The young man nodded thoughtfully. The wise man continued, "You had so many things you want at first and set too many goals, just as the large pot was filled with too much water but you didn't have enough firewood, so you couldn't boil water, and if you wanted to make the water boil ,you’d better empty some of the water.
