What is a Maker Space?

Our space is located in the school’s library and is filled with learning stations which inspires students’ creativity and innovation providing students the opportunity to create, build, tinker, invent, and “make”. Our stations include arts& crafts, electronics/circuits, robotics, building blocks, stop-motion animation, virtual and augmented reality along with pop-up cards, comic creation, and spin art, and so much more

Why Have a Makerspace?

Support higher level thinking
Application of 21st century skills
Using creativity with a purpose
Applying classroom content knowledge to Problem solving
Addresses Many standards
Provide open ended activities and team work similar to what engineers and designers use
Using Technology as a tool not as an end onto itself
Engagement of learners offering them choices and encouraging self direction
Tied to STEAM Curriculum (Science, Technology, Art and Math)
