043: ATLIS 2016: Maker Spaces in Schools with Leigh Northrup, Nicholas ColeFarrell and Fred Jaravata

Coming live from Atlanta, GA at the Association of Technology Leaders in Independent Schools Conference! On this special episode, I interview Leigh Northrup from the Cannon School in North Carolina and Nicholas ColeFarrell from the Brandeis School in San Francisco and we discuss what maker spaces in schools is all about and why and how it can be a game changer.
I never met either Leigh or Nicholas in person prior to this conference. Leigh and I only “met” a few times on our Skype planning sessions for our deep dive presentation called “Leading Cultural Change From Within Your School Makerspace.” Nicholas also presented, not only once—but twice!
Here is our deep dive presentation slides for you to check out!
I think you’ll enjoy this experience as we went to a local bar sitting in the beautiful Atlanta spring weather. We chatted about our experiences as presenters and attendees, the interesting things we saw and heard, and our take-aways. It’ll seem that you’re sitting with us as you hear the ambient sounds around us.
I want to give a shout Howard Levin, our Director of Innovation and Technology at our school, Convent & Stuart Hall, Schools of the Sacred Heart of San Francisco and Sarah Hangawald and Kelsey Vrooman and the rest of the team at ATLIS for making this work. Big ups to my new friends and peers who I met at this conference. I hope to get their stories on our podcast someday.

ATLIS 2017 will be in Los Angeles, CA so stay tuned at http://www.theatlis.org/

Fred Jaravata: Hey everyone. Fred here. I’m in Atlanta, Georgia for the ATLIS Conference, the Association of Technology Leaders and Independent Schools and today, I have two very cool guests. I’m supposed to have three but I have two right now. We have Leigh and we have Nicholas and I’m going to give them the time to introduce themselves but it’s really cool what they’re doing. They’re doing amazing things and as part of our tagline, we want to help you, you teachers out there to take your teaching to the next level. OK? So let’s start off with the first, Nicholas.
Nicholas Cole-Farrell: This is Nicholas here. Although there are only two guests, Leigh and I have the strength of 10 men or 10 people in that way. So really you’ve got like 20 guests here.
Fred Jaravata: Nice, OK. So quick intro, so tell us what you do and – yeah.
Nicholas Cole-Farrell: Sure. So my name is Nicholas. I’m Director of Technology at The Brandeis School in San Francisco, a fellow San Franciscan like my man Fred and …
Fred Jaravata: But we never met before.
Nicholas Cole-Farrell: No.
Fred Jaravata: So it’s great. This is the first time we met.
Nicholas Cole-Farrell: We’re internet friends. So this is kind of IRL time for us, which is nice. But yeah, no, we run an awesome technology program and a tinkering and making program there at the Brandeis School and ...
