My Project
Our library is more than a place to check out books; it’s a creative space where students gather during the lunch block to explore, design, and innovate. In our school library, we believe learning should be active, hands-on, and fun. That’s why we’re transforming part of our library into a Makerspace — a dynamic area where students can engage in creative problem-solving and STEM-based activities. With the addition of LEGO Architecture kits, we’ll create engaging library makerspace activities that allow students to build, learn, and connect with STEM concepts in exciting new ways.
By adding LEGO Architecture kits, we’ll offer student-led makerspace challenges during the lunch block in the library.
With your support, we can transform our library into a space where students build — one brick at a time- and we can create simple, hands-on STEM exploration that is accessible to all of our students.
