My students love to create, and they are the reason I added a maker space to our STEAM classroom this year! I can’t tell you how many times one of these inquisitive minds has proudly shown me something made from nothing but paper. You might think paper airplanes, and while I’ve seen plenty, I’ve also seen a mini backpack with a laptop and cell phone, a furnished house, a purse, a box with a game inside, hats, jewelry, and even a television featuring two different stories told comic-strip style! My students have an incredible desire to create, build, design, and engineer. The maker space allows them to explore these passions using a variety of materials to bring their ideas to life. There is something magical about watching them build confidence, collaborate, and turn their imagination into something tangible they can show, touch, share, and, of course, modify! After all, there’s always room for improvement! :)
