MakerSpace



We've been having a great time exploring our MakerSpace!  Our MakerSpace is shared space where students can explore STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math).  The MakerSpace is set up in stations where students can explore hands-on, inquiry-based activities.  So far, the Challenge students have explored making circuits, building roller coasters, creating shape drawings, making 3D shapes, programming with SCRATH, programming the Pro-Bot Car, and making music with the Makey, Makey.  We will change stations periodically, and we are hoping to get some new items soon!


It's Electric:  Students are making complete circuits!

Howtoons!

I just discovered Howtoons, the world's greatest DIY comic website!  No more boring "how to" books...students can learn to make things by reading comics!  I'm excited to incorporate Howtoons into our MakerSpace.  Maybe students can even create their own Howtoons...the possibilities are endless!
