My Project

We are looking for ways to invite our students into a creative space throughout the day. Creative with small opportunities for deeper learning like spatial geometry, electricity, city planning, and artistic design. We also want students to get excited about using some of our maker space tools like 3D printing buildings and laser cutting street signs.

The train gives us the central focal point, but the potential in world-building is endless.

Our common area is a shared space with our library. We would like to set out materials and invite the students to create items and scenes throughout the year!

Ms. Lamkin
Grades 9-12
