Students don't grow out of LEGOs once they reach middle school. We started a Makerspace elective with our 5th-grade students this year, and it has been wildly successful. We want to expand on this by developing a unique and dynamic space for students to explore engineering while developing creativity and confidence. The baseplates we are requesting will be mounted on a wall in the library. This will create a vertical space where students can create with LEGOs. Exposing students to hands-on STEAM activities will engage them in exploring, discovering and learning and will help to ensure their success in the future. Getting to make and create will transform our students from consumers of things into makers of things and will foster their sense of creativity. By giving our students a chance to tinker with LEGOs, we can prepare them to be the engineers, inventors, and scientists of the 21st Century.
