This project is fully funded
My Project
"STEAM Makerspace in the Library" is a project that will benefit all students at my school. My goal is to build a dynamic space that can be used by teachers and students in my building to foster collaboration and exploration. For me, the idea is to empower students and give them the ability and freedom to create, problem-solve, and develop new skills in exciting ways. Each item selected in this project helps start this initiative in our library. Students will be able to see the real world applications of what they learn in the classroom in the makerspace.
By providing these tools, I will be able to create an inspiring, hands-on environment where students can explore their interests, building confidence, and engage with learning in a meaningful way.
For me, the library is the hub of the school and having an active makerspace complement their academic studies.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
