My Project

This project for the Library Makerspace, where students love to create and collaborate, supports SEL and Student Enrichment. Students use the engineering design process starting in Kindergarten to make their imagination come to life. While they are designing, SEL is constantly happening. Students learn about a maker mindset full of perseverance and awareness. Collaborative groups encourage kindness, problem solving and working together. Makerspace time is full of enrichment opportunities to further student learning and student choice. These supplies will further support the SEL and enrichment programming occurring in the library.
