My students are enjoying learning through makerspace and STEM/STEAM projects in our school library. My project will benefit all of the students in our school! The school library used to be a place where students just read books, but now our school library is so much more! Sometimes our library is a makerspace or STEM lab! We "make" things together that always connect to a book we have read, or their content specific curriculum. A Cricut is a great addition to any Makerspace or STEM classroom! With the machine, students can create a variety of things or add to things they have already created! For example, students could create advertising projects and create advertising materials for their potential client. They would be able to figure cost of materials and actually create the product. They could also use the Cricut to create posters encouraging kindness throughout the school. Students will be able to utilize the program to understand basic computer animated design and measurements. The possibilities are endless with a Cricut.
