Help Create a Makerspace in the Library

Help me give my students the opportunity to investigate and problem solve as a team and explore individually. These tools will allow them to innovate and create!

My Students

On the surface, many may be taken aback by my library's apparent disorder, the lack of desks, the constant movement of students, cardboard everywhere, the constant chatter and the energy level. But, spend more than a cursory look, more than a quick investigation and you will find the future of education.

The movement turns out to be students owning their environment, identifying necessary tools and working to set up their learning conditions to best suit their needs.

The cardboard is indicative of creation, an expression of student ideas and working product. The chatter is purposeful, direct and focused on deep investigation of subject materials. The energy level shows true engagement by every single child in the classroom.

My Project

The library and James Simons is not your typical media center. The maker mindset began here for our students and is cultivated every week in the library.

Students are invited to change their negative understanding of failure, determine their own direction, research and innovate solutions to problems, and participate in literacy based or student initiated build challenges.It is a flexible space with art/construction materials, circuitry, robotics and tools.

The area has fixed and flexible stations which allow students the opportunity to investigate and problem solve as a team and explore individually.
