My school is full of learners who are itching to grow their technology and STEM knowledge! While our students are privileged to live in a supportive community with access to many outreach programs and partnerships - we are hoping to grow the resources we have in our library and learning lab to aid in student lead inquiry and creation!
Our learners range in age from PreK to 5th grade and are inquisitive, eager, and ready to explore the world around them!
In library classes, we explore the world around us with books, research databases, and technology. Our goal is to learn, imagine, and create products that grow our world impact and lead us to become future-ready citizens!
My Project
The students at my school are movers and shakers. They see opportunities to make the school better and work together to solve problems. One such problem is the pile of cardboard waste created by our cafeteria. The shipments of food come in on a weekly basis, and for about three hours on delivery day, the used boxes sit in a conspicuous spot. Students have started commenting on the pile and wondering what else we could do with it. My student's pondering led to research and their research led us to Makedo!
These tools would allow my students to use the cardboard waste created in our school to build their prototypes and models in our maker space!
I am so proud of my students for their initiative in reducing and reusing. When the approached me with the idea, I knew we had to try it!
