"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination." - Albert Einstein. In this world of high stakes test scores, pressure to achieve academically, and Common Core Standards driving our instruction - students are afforded almost no time to be creative; let their imaginations run wild, and "think outside the box". We have eliminated music and art classes in our school. Recess is limited and talking at lunch is discouraged. When are our students practicing the Critical C's: Collaboration, Cooperation and Communication? The MakerSpace in the Media Center will offer all students the tools necessary to respond to a project-based, interdisciplinary, creative challenge each month. Through hands-on exploration, freedom of expression, and student-centered learning - our learners will learn the power of imagination. This MakerSpace will be a stress-free zone dedicated to the aspiring artists, inventors, and engineers in our student community.
