My Project

Keeping our elementary students on track to be able to compete in a technologically driven world is one of the goals of having a Makerspace in our school's media center. However, because of Covid-19, our Makespace has been put to the side for several years. This year, we are bringing it back to our students! As the school's librarian and digital learning coach, I want to bring the ability for students to create, innovate, and bring to life the amazing ideas they have in their imagination. Using a 3-D printer would make this possible.
