Makers Monday...Makers Every Day!

Help me give my students STEM materials for our Makerspace. Our Makerspace needs some attention after being neglected during COVID. We are excited to bring back hands-on collaborative practices focusing on STEM and the Engineer Design Process.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $529

My Project

During COVID I had to close my Makerspace, which was a space in my classroom where students could work together to design, build, and create many things. This space is organized to facilitate cooperative hands-on experiences. I believe these experiences are important for academic and social-emotional learning in our classroom.

As a teacher at a STEAM school, I believe it is important to provide opportunities for students to engage as STEM learners and practice engineering skills.

The Makerspace in my classroom allows students to explore their creative side, practice our Vision (students will think critically, respond digitally, and communicate effectively), and use the Engineer Design Process in fun creative ways. The kits I am requesting today will replenish our Makerspace and help bring it back to life after COVID.
