Do’s and Don’ts of Maker Monday: Do present/share with the group. Do talk about challenges and strategies to overcome Do discuss what they would do to improve their process the next time Do expect kids to be respectful of each other and the difficulty of the process Do expect kids to celebrate each other. Every Kid Matters. Every Kid is a critical part of Maker Monday.

Don’t give prizes. This is not about the product. This is not about crowd-pleasers. don’t allow kids to leave without cleaning up don’t permit any negative discussion of anyone else’s character, process, or product. Ever. Don’t get hurt when they throw their stuff away—it’s the process that matters.
