My Project

A few years ago, I was introduced to the Maker Space at several schools. These Maker Spaces allowed students to create and produce their own products to not only express their learning but also encompass them into their daily lives. In the last several months, I have started to rebuild my current school's Makerspace. We have started moving forward with 3D printing, the power of the Cricut, and entrepreneurship skills both in the classroom and outside the classroom. Our next stage is now bringing LEGO into our Makerspace.

With the Power of LEGO, my students will be able to start applying those building, and entrepreneurship skills to true business and STEAM blueprint Modeling to make them true leaders of tomorrow.
