InnovationMaker3 #16-203-001 CCC Maker Initiative – Sierra College Narrative Report: July 1 - September 30, 2018

Project Operations Processes and procedures for fiscal reporting and accountability continued to be deployed. Colleges receiving grant funding maintained DropBox files with information on 1) allowable spending policy documents, 2) archived communications and directions from the grant accountant, 3) example documents and packets, 4) forms including invoice, budget revision, and match documents, 5) PowerPoint presentations, 6) calendar of submittal deadlines, 7) grant accountant delivered webinars. Each college used a fiscal agent-assigned DropBox folder to upload fiscal information and reports for quarterly reporting purposes.

Contract agreements for Year 2 Implementation grants continued to be finalized for CCC Maker colleges. Purchase order agreements were issued upon receipt of signed contracts. Carryover agreements and timelines (a cap of 10% of unspent funds from Year One Implementation grants) were formalized with each college.

Weekly meetings and on-site planning sessions with the project operations workgroup were conducted, focusing on project timelines and deliverables.

Communication with the Chancellor’s Office WEDD Dean provided opportunities for feedback on project activities, deliverables and timelines. Extended Ops meetings were attended and information was shared with the CCCCO communications TAP.

Programmatic processes and procedures continued to be operationalized by the TAP team including a quarterly reporting format and submittal system using SmartSheet. Data from the quarterly reports was used to populate a visual dashboard, posted on the cccmaker.com website, to show program performance by college and in summary using a visual format. The TAP also continued to deliver online and on-ground technical assistance.

CCC Maker Colleges

The 24 colleges participating in CCC Maker submitted quarterly reports containing both narrative and empirical metrics associated with activities related to internships, the makerspace, a community of practice and curriculum. A summary analysis was performed on the metrics to project aggregates, means and trends that may serve as guiding performance measures for Year 2. The full analysis can be found here for reference with tables, charts and calculations. Aggregates: Total Internships for 2017-2018 Implementation Year 1 = 209 The total number of students who accessed a CCC Makerspace was 17,284 Averages: Colleges on average reported makerspace usage to be 7.14 hours per day within a work-week, with each student logging in 6.26 hours per quarter. Trends: Colleges recruited an average of 3 employers per each completed student internship. Colleges engaged approximately 83 students in order to successfully develop one internship.

Each faculty member had, on average, 16 student connections within a makerspace. Less than one piece of curriculum was developed per engaged faculty. 75 students completed internships in quarter 5, with a total of 282 internships completed to date. 82 employers were recruited during this same time period.

In collaboration with the Foundation for California Community Colleges, a new process to onboard students to the Career Catalyst system was developed to manage the student and timekeeper supervisor internship status. This new model will be deployed in quarter 6. 6,263 students accessed college makerspaces in quarter 5. Student attendance across all makerspaces has continued to increase with an average quarterly attendance of 6,200 students or approximately 190 students a day across the last 3 quarters.

289 digital badges were awarded to students in quarter 5. Digital badging efforts by Eric Ullrich from Hacker Lab included interviewing representatives at Foothill and Sacramento City College makerspaces. Badges in various makerspace technologies were researched along with soft skill and design thinking skill sets. Ongoing webinars and communication strategies continued to help colleges establish their own systems of badging.

Nearly 21% in matching funds have been identified to date. Other cumulative CCC Maker College metrics are shown below. https://scopewave.clicdata.com/b/fSemtXhzWFhD

Strategic Communication Downloads of “The California Community College Makerspace Startup Guide – Preparing Students for Jobs of the Future,” https://cccmaker.com/about/startupguide/) continued by colleges, nonprofits, high schools, foundations, and makerspaces around the world. To date, the Guide has been downloaded 396 times.

CCC Maker Community of Practice The TAP attended the Sierra College “Sierra Makerspaces” project Year Two kickoff meeting on August 13, and the College of Alameda’s makerspace initiative to present to a group of 14 faculty on interdisciplinary engagement and the benefits of maker-based curriculum.

The CCC Maker team collaborated with Sacramento City College’s Makerspace to conduct a three-day workshop and prototype called “Makermatic”, a new model for work-based learning. CCC Maker Advisory Member, Pat Crain of VSP Global, was part of the leadership team and provided the employer perspective. A full trial is scheduled to take place during the next reporting period.

At the roll out on October 23rd, the four week, seven-session program will focus on a real business challenge for the 27 students who have pre-registered for the program. Makermatic has been designed for scalability and our goal is to make it available for all CCC Maker colleges over the next six months. Each college that chooses to run a Makermatic program will be able to connect makerspace students with a business leader in a cohort size of at least 12 Interns. The initial idea of Makermatic came from CCC Maker Advisory Committee who suggested combining talented makerspace students with local business leaders and focusing on real world challenges. The Makermatic program is being reviewed by CCC Maker Advisors Tony Long, from Northrop Grumman, Stephanie Santoso - US2020, Brian McKeown - Kiva, and Pat Crain - VSP. Many business leaders recognize that the makerspace-based community college students are an underimagined resource for employment opportunities. In addition to giving back to the community, employers see programs like Makermatic as a way to introduce their businesses to the student interns and relate useful career-focused insights. Students gain useful problem-focused skills and guidance from a CCC Makerspace coach and business leaders. Final text for a bill developed by Assemblyman David Scott of Georgia was completed. Staff worked with the CCC Maker project director and several advisory members to finalize the language of the draft, which directs the National Science Foundation to award grants for, and support research on, the development of makerspaces. Special emphasis was placed on community colleges and historically black colleges.
