What is Makerspace?
"A makerspace is a destination where students-sometimes alongside staff, parents, and mentors-can create, problem solve, and develop skills, talents, thinking, and mental rigor."

A makerspace is a collaborative work space for making, learning, exploring and sharing that uses high tech to no tech tools. Students are encouraged to tinker, explore, create, trial and engineer their way through a wide variety of tasks and challenges. This year, students will engage in intentional makerspace time weekly. Students will explore foundational skills within project planning, tool safety, 2D and 3D creation, circuits, robotics, coding, and design.
Makerspaces are powerful tools for encouraging students use inquiry-based learning to problem solve real-world problems. Take a look at some outside resources on the benefits of makerspaces in classrooms:
