My Project

These creative hands-on STEM/Makerspace craft supplies in bins on carts will enhance student learning by fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills through engaging, real-world challenges.

By exploring concepts in science, technology, engineering, and math in a hands-on way, students deepen their understanding, build confidence, and develop a growth mindset that supports innovation and creativity.

Through these STEM/Makerspace projects students will get the opportunity to demonstrate what they know through other ways, instead of old school paper and pencil. Students will also get to work collaboratively with others, which is a highly sought after skill in today's workplace!
