My Project

I am in charge of the Makerspace at our school and want to offer an area where the students can challenge their minds and let their creativity shine through. The STEM Bins will have different challenges for students to complete on their own if they finish the group work or want a different activity to attempt.

The cart will be filled with materials for the STEM Bins that the students can grab whenever needed.

Makerspace is an area where the students can come to foster innovation through hands-on experimentation and experiences.
