FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Evangelista's classroom raised $289

My Project

Our new maker space will be a place where students can let their imaginations run wild! Through this engagement, children will be able to design and build, to engineer solutions to simple and complex tasks, and to direct their own learning through the trial and error of experimentation.

All too often as teachers, we pose questions to which there are a limited number of answers, but maker space work allows students freedom to create their own understandings of learning content.

The simple objects being requested for this project like Scotch tape, pipe cleaners, and cotton swabs are the raw materials from which our awesome kiddos will engineer unique solutions to a variety of both simple and complex challenges.
