I've had some conversations lately with colleagues, friends, and school families about what materials are good to have on hand for kids to make with. The lists below are my attempt to answer this question. I am breaking the list into three categories. "The Basics" are common tinkering/art items we can use for a wide array projects. Many of these are common household items. I am trying to keep my distance learning to using items on this list. "Nice to Have" are some fun, and mostly inexpensive, items that take engineering tinkering skills a bit further and can enhance the basic materials. "Next Level" are some of my favorite tools for creative coding and integrating the digital and the physical. These items tend to be more expensive and are really geared for the passionate young maker who is interested in starting to work with electronics and code.
