Using Flippity for Makerspace Challenges

Using Flippity for Makerspace Challenges | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
"Although it’s great to allow students to use their imaginations, they will generally feel overwhelmed if you give them infinite choices. For example, if you say, “Build something out of Legos,” many students will either spend most of their time figuring out what to build or attempt to build something they have already done in the past. So, a couple of years ago I thought I would randomize some Makerspace Building Challenges for my students by using a tool called Flippity. Instead of building “something,” they might be urged to build an amusement park ride or a shelter for a natural disaster, for example. You can find my post on using the tool here."

Mix & Match Makerspace Challenges - Worlds of Learning

Mix & Match Makerspace Challenges - Worlds of Learning | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
I have been searching for a tool to help me create mix & match makerspace challenges, in the same vein.  I finally found one that I love!  The tool is called Flippity, and amongst other things, it allows you to easily turn a Google spreadsheet into a random Mix & Match grid.  Here is an example of a finished Mix & Match grid that you can demo.  Clicking on the double arrows underneath each column you see, allows you to shuffle each column.  

Using Flippity, I created a few different makerspace challenge Mix & Match grids for you to be able to see exactly how this tool might work for your makerspace!
