Support Ms. Fort's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
Makerspaces foster innovation through hands-on experimentation. Participants have the opportunity to be creative and apply personalized learning strategies to make changes to existing concepts or develop their own ideas, methods or products.
Hands-on learning takes the concepts taught through lecture, video or textbooks and allows participants to move from an abstract concept to a real-world understanding. Participants are then able to practice creating solutions to real-world problems.
The student will be using 3D printing and doodle pens to bring their creative ideas to life.. if they can imagine it, they can create it. Students will also be brining movies to life. The maker space will have a movie/radio studio area set up for the creative juices to flow using a green screen, boom mics, and lighting. All which will be student led.
In experimentation, testing, evaluating and modifying are part of the process. Participants learn how to make failure into a learning experience and not become discouraged or frustrated when something doesn’t go as planned.
