My Project

We have beautiful new Maker Space furniture in our Media Center this year. Our students are so excited to have centers and transition stations at the tables and I am looking to provide more STEM based activities for this space. I am trying to add puzzles, STEM building kits, design blocks and more!

In the Maker Space area our students explore, create, design and build with the materials, but they also work on developing collaboration and cooperative skills!

Providing our students in all of our grades with these positive experiences is critical. They are learning 21st Century skills while integrating concepts from across the curriculum from math to science to spatial awareness to critical problem solving and thinking.
