Maximize Our MakerSpace with a Student Friendly Storage Solution

Help me give my students items to help them explore real-world science concepts, build problem-solving skills, and spark creativity with a storage unit for our hands-on STEM tools like LEGOs, magnetic tiles, Keva planks, 3D pens, and more.

My Project

This project will elevate our MakerSpace, giving students the chance to design and build. This Jonti-Craft Tub Tower with Clear Bins storage unit will help to organize our tools and sets for easy access by students. Having this kind of organization will bring STEM concepts to life and allow students to learn by doing—testing ideas, working together, and developing critical thinking skills along the way.

My goals are to spark creativity, deepen STEM understanding, and foster collaboration.

Our students deserve learning opportunities that reflect their potential and allow them to also explore the process of creating, trying, problem solving, and success.

I know what a difference our MakerSpace makes in student confidence and engagement. To have these materials readily available and accessible to all of my students will allow for more focused use of our MakerSpace.
