At our Institute we had a "MakerSpaces Petting Zoo". NO there were no pets , but what we did see was 16 different and incredible MakerSpaces Ideas for our students.
The 3 -D printer was of course the biggie~! They used student friendly tinker cards. The students would have a blast with this. and would the staff. I think it might be best for older elementary , middle and high school students. /students create the desired object and then can watch as the printer builds the object.
The Lego stations of course were popular, This I think would be the most easy and affordable for most schools. They can be used with students of all ages , as there are three different levels of kits. There are robots to be build and also lego story starters for the younger set.
The Little bits had electric modules that snap together . Students create circuits that have movement, light and sound. To me this looks like a system for middle and high school age students. There are 'patterns'to follow' to show students what they can actually build.
This is just a sampling of some of the ones that I think would work for my building;
