Makerspace News

Welcome to Makerspace!

 

Makerspace is a Specials Class that is offered to K-6th grade once a week. Makerspace is here to be an outlet for creativity and design while teaching the Engineering Design Process along the way. Through ideation, asking questions, and imagining solutions, we will be helping all students bring their thoughts and ideas to life! Makerspace is not a part of any student’s curriculum, but rather an extension and opportunity to bring scientific and engineering ideas into physical space. Makerspace is an opportunity to help answer every child’s burning questions about how the world works and how to design solutions to problems they will encounter in school and throughout their lives.

 

From learning about everything from flags to developing a simple understanding of compression, tension, and forces, makerspace is here to prepare students for their futures in learning about everything from physics to design. The goal is to have all children take in the fundamentals of the Engineering Design Process and the complex vocabulary that comes with it in a fun, hands-on environment.

 

Although there are no grades given out from makerspace, beyond the design process and hands-on engineering, students will also be provided instruction on typing, team building, and leadership. This specials class is here to develop curious thinking and a belief that any problem or question can be tackled through ideation. From flight and aviation to procedures and coding, makerspace is looking forward to being filled with new ideas and creations this year!
