The San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE) supports 23 school districts across San Mateo County, with schools spanning socioeconomic levels. Our strategic plan focuses on supporting maker-centered learning through the lens of equity and excellence. Over the past two years, we have supported over a dozen schools in the creation of their own makerspaces. We have been mentoring Title 1 and under-resourced schools through Making Spaces, a collaborative with Maker Ed, Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, and Google. We have also expanded a STEAM Lending Library through support from Oracle, which allows teachers to check out maker-centered equipment, including Squishy Circuits, Makey Makey, and littleBits.
