The wall is now fully operational in our library and is open daily during all four lunch periods. It has quickly become a vibrant, hands-on learning station where students explore structural engineering concepts while building against gravity. In addition to daily open library time, specialized groups—such as our 18+ uniquely-abled vocational skills class—have reserved dedicated times to come in, collaborate, and bring their designs to life.\r\n\r\nWhen the wall was first installed, students were initially hesitant, unsure if such an engaging setup was truly meant for them to touch and use. To break the ice, I invited a few seniors to start building abstract structures on the wall to demonstrate that this space was built specifically for their hands-on exploration. Since then, interest has grown steadily every day! To push their thinking further, I created a set of challenge cards that encourage students to look beyond the surface, prompting them to tackle real-world principles of structural integrity, load-bearing weight, and tension through creative problem-solving.\r\n\r\nYour investment in our library has promoted a culture of design, curiosity, and collaboration across our campus. Moving forward, we are continuing to build bridges between tactile maker experiences and standard classroom curriculum. For example, our library recently partnered with architecture classes who designed to-scale haunted houses using blueprints, specs, and repurposed cardboard from a recent book order. These models will soon be featured in a library gallery walk for visiting classes, showing our students that engineering and creative design are happening all around them.
