My Project

The students with special needs that learn within my classroom are hands-on learners. The students love working together to solve problems and share ideas. I would like to create a Makerspace that they can use after they complete their academic assignments to further their interests.

The Makerspace will provide the students with materials and resources that they can use to create circuits and build structures.

They hold a great interest in learning about the world around them. These projects will help them develop a better understanding of electricity and engineering. The students will enjoy working as a team to solve different tasks being presented. The students will also be using the sheet protectors and pens to work on task projects that include the Makerspace materials. The zipper bags will keep the materials organized and clean.
