My Project

My students have thoroughly enjoyed being introduced to some of the activities they can complete in our MakerSpace room.

They are excited when I showed them that they can create their own buttons.

I would love to provide them with the materials including the pins to create buttons for events happening at our school, field trips, or just for fun. Students could even make them to give as gifts to others or trade. My students would love to create button badges to display proudly to others in our amazing MakerSpace room!
