Ah, the million-dollar question: "How do I know if this is the right fit for me?" First off, let's address the elephant (not the Piggie and Elephant kind) in the room. If you're someone who gets a thrill from seeing lightbulbs pop over kids' heads, if you're a champion of creativity over rote memorization, or if you've ever looked at a cardboard box and seen a world of possibilities instead of recycling... then you, my friend, are in the right place.

Now, let's get down to brass tacks. This bootcamp is for you if you're:

A teacher who dreams of classrooms buzzing with engaged learners, where science and stories come alive through hands-on exploration.

A homeschool mom (or dad!) seeking to sprinkle a little magic dust on your curriculum, making learning an adventure that happens everywhere, from kitchen tables to backyard forts.

A media specialist who believes that the heart of the school can beat with creativity, innovation, and the sound of children discovering their passions.

In short, if you're someone who believes that education is not just about filling a bucket but igniting a fire, then March Makerspace Madness Bootcamp is your match made in makerspace heaven. So, come join us! Let's build, create, and inspire together. Because, at the end of the day, if you're looking to transform your learning space into a place where curiosity is the currency and creativity is the outcome, then you, my fellow educator, have found your tribe. Welcome aboard!

Ah, the age-old conundrum: "Why is this so affordable?" You might be thinking that in a world where you have to shell out a small fortune for a decent cup of coffee, there must be a catch when something as transformative as the March Makerspace Madness Bootcamp is priced at less than the cost of a school year's worth of pencils.

Well, dear inquisitive mind, let me let you in on a little secret. It's not about making a mint; it's about making a difference. You see, I've been in the trenches, navigated the highs and lows of the classroom, and experienced the sheer joy of watching a child's imagination take flight. That's priceless. And I believe that every teacher, homeschool mom, and media specialist should have the opportunity to spark that joy without having to break the bank.

So, why is it so affordable? Because I want you to invest not just in this bootcamp but in your future as an educator, in the limitless potential of your students, and in the belief that learning should be accessible, engaging, and downright fun. Consider it my way of paying it forward to the incredible community of educators who are shaping the minds of tomorrow.

This bootcamp is also just the beginning of the journey into Makerspace. The choice is up to you if you decide to move beyond the bootcamp.

In essence, this bootcamp is a labor of love, priced to bring us together as a community of dreamers, makers, and educators. So, grab your virtual seat, bring your biggest dreams, and let's make magic happen in your makerspace. After all, the real question isn't "Why is this so affordable?" but "Can you afford to miss out?"

Not in the BootCamp. The BootCamp is specifically about the why behind Makerspace and sharing ideas about how to use it, as well as diving deeper into the benefits for kids- and we are going to focus on that. After the challenge I will invite you to my $39 course which is a ton more content about setting up a makerspace, how to get funded for materials, how to manage materials and your time, how to integrate standards, the power of productive struggle, Makerspace assessment, and so much more.

Ah, the trepidation of the uninitiated, standing on the precipice of the Makerspace world, wondering, "Will I be lost?" Fear not, brave explorer! Venturing into the unknown can indeed feel like preparing to scale Everest in flip-flops. But let me assure you, in the March Makerspace Madness Bootcamp, you'll find yourself equipped with not just flip-flops but a full-on, state-of-the-art, metaphorical climbing gear set designed for every skill level.

Think of this bootcamp not as being thrown into the deep end but rather as dipping your toes into a sparkling, inviting pool of creativity and learning, where every question is a stepping stone, and every activity is a lifebuoy keeping you afloat. I've designed this journey from the ground up to be as welcoming and navigable for the makerspace newbie as it is enriching and inspiring for the seasoned pro.

You see, we all start somewhere. Even I once looked at a glue gun and felt a twinge of uncertainty. But it's not about where you start; it's about where we're going together. With step-by-step guidance, practical tips, and a community of fellow adventurers by your side, you'll soon find that what once seemed like an uncharted territory becomes a familiar playground for your imagination.

So, to you, my soon-to-be fellow maker, I say: You won't be lost; you'll be led. Led on a path of discovery, creativity, and perhaps a few delightful detours into the world of "what if?" and "why not?" Welcome to the beginning of a beautiful adventure in Makerspace. Where being new isn't a liability; it's the best seat in the house.
