I taught at risk students in LAUSD for many years. Most of these students were not passionate about traditional study but had passions about fixing cars, building things and physical and tangible work. Hands on. There are no shop classes in schools anymore and they are desperately needed and these are vital skills needed in our job force and community. The Maker Space fulfills that need. With Google and other tech companies coming in, we have the great opportunity to have their advisement, participation and great ideas to have a cutting edge Maker Space as this space also includes technology and 3d printing. Back in the old days a father would look forward to playing baseball with his son. I was moved by a father who posted support saying that he wanted a place where he and his son could make something together. This is a no brainer for a great thing to champion and add to the community.
