Makers in Residence in Your Residence

GDS’s High School maker in residence Matthew Bachiochi is leading a school-wide, thematic maker project that students can join from home. Last week we shared his introduction to the project, and this week we are pleased to bring you Maker Project #1: Make a Laptop Stand! In the video, Matthew takes you step-by-step through the process of building this workspace-enhancing item at home.

For this project, you’ll need:

• A ruler
• Paper
• A pencil
• Sturdy scissors (adult supervision)
• Cardboard
• (Optional) Decorations: colored pencils, stickers, etc.
