Makerspace activities allow students to connect and take charge of their learning. Students use the makerspace materials during their lunch periods, before and after school, and during our makerspace club. Students are able to develop their problem solving and collaboration skills. Our school has a 38% English Language Learner population, many of whom are new to the country. The library is a place where all the students are welcome, and are able to express themselves through creativity.
The most amazing thing about makerspace is seeing students who speak different languages all bonding over the same shared activity.
All of these tools and activities were chosen by students, for students. The most anticipated activity on this list are the building tiles because they remind students of early childhood. LEGOs were a similar fan favorite because they let the students be hands on and focus on the moment.
Your generous donation will allow more students to play, explore, design, experiment and build with their minds.
Half of students from low‑income households
