A MakerSpace in my classroom will provide open-ended exploration that fosters creativity and innovation with the Engineering Design Process. This will be a designated area that allows students to design, build, and tinker using a variety of STEM materials. The cart is filled with engaging activities and a variety of materials to meet all the students’ needs. A MakerSpace empowers student curiosity and creativity, increases retention, and actively engages students. It actively fosters independent and creative problem solving, encourages collaboration, builds confidence in personal skills and knowledge, and is adaptive and inclusive for all learning styles.
