I've also found a couple of other places here and here that might help. This article was also interesting.
We have just finished our Final Exhibition and I thought it might be nice to introduce something new. Usually, our Wednesday afternoons are set aside for Genius Hour. However, I thought we might try something a little different. Miss Elif recently created a website that she shared with the rest of the teachers. It's all about the Maker Movement and there is lots of information on there. I would like you to explore the website and answer this question, What could it look like in 5M? Post your thoughts in the comments section.

Maybe in 5M we could have access to art room materials and we could have a theme every week, like one theme could be: mothers day gifts, or, something that connects to animals, or, something that represents you. We think it would be really hard using the resources that we have in school to make anything too interesting (like a robot) so maybe people could bring in anything old from home that they wanted to let people use (or for them selves). We could even have a theme that was like: Use only recycled materials. We think it would be a good idea if people were allowed to share their ideas if they wanted to.

I think it would look like children will be having a lot of fun. There will be lot's of containers of tool's and bit's and bob's like screws wire's.

In Class each person can create their own things and be CREATIVE! We can bring things from home or things from around school! We can use technology or material like bottles, paper and other things that you need. We can work in partners or individually. They get to expand their ideas and use their creativity to create things!

We think that in 5m it could look like the students could be working on their own projects and our tools could be much more advanced.

In 5m makers space is going to be a session where students will explore their imagination. There will be different pieces of ART, models made of different materials like cardboard, paper and other items which could be recycled. Makers space can help 5m show their talents in artistic ways like. There would be a lot of technology used because there will be many inventions of different kinds. They could even use their passions to make something.

Maker Space is related to Genius Hour because you can connect your passions to your creativity.

Makers space is a time were you can be creative.I think that in our class room we should use recycled materials and maybe they could bring some things from home like old plastic boxes and stuff.The IST theme this year is to be environment friendly so it would be a good idea.I also think that we should keep like one project for 2 weeks.Also like in the videos they had a lot of hi-tech stuff like the seniors had in the video.But we are still in elementary we don't do that stuff yet.I also think that maybe we could make groups for the people who want to work together But not more than 3 people in a group.You could make stuff like a potato powered clock or a jack in the box and even really creative cards and many more creative things.I also think we should have access to both the art rooms and the reading room. And we should all get to present our ideas if we want and if people are shy they could ask people to help. we should be able to make things on our computers.
