My Project

Monday starts the second semester of classes at my school, and students are pumped for our brand-new makerspace class.

With this makerspace class, there is going to be a lot of scavenging and searching for recycled materials, and we are in need of a place where all of our wonderful project materials can go.

My students are asking for a variety of storage bins to store scissors, glue, ribbons, and beads, along with some larger totes to store cardboard, plastic, cloth, etc. We also asked for 4 carts that will become makerspace carts in order to make the transition from Algebra to Makerspace more seamless. We are ready to get organized and become more efficient. We are just needing some help from all of you.
