“The large collection of Maker products, kits, and books from Mackinhas afforded students in Milwaukee Public Schools the opportunity to learn and engage in creative thinking within content areas. The maker movement inspired us to pursue implementing MackinMaker in our school libraries to reinforce concepts such as force and motion and solve complex problems. During our MackinMaker selection process, the Mackin representatives were instrumental in working with us to curate maker kits and maker books to fit our student interests, curriculum, and grade levels. Furthermore, they worked closely with us to recommend products that align with our space requirements, technology infrastructure, and circulation needs. Mackin representatives are very responsive with the continued follow up support we receive in terms of phone/email support and on-site support. The personalized professional development sessions are well received by our library staff. We are extremely pleased with the product selections, customer service, and professional development opportunities.“
