Makers Gonna Make "InnovationOC"

Funded Nov 29, 2018

Our students have done some great projects with our new resources. The students love sitting on our new Hokki stools. They love the bright colors of their new seats. While the students are working, they have higher levels of concentration since their bodies are able to expel excess energy as well as engaging their core to have correct posture.

Recently, we made cupcake toppers with our new supply of 3Doodler filament for our 3Doodler pens, as well as utilizing our makerspace supplies. The students were very creative and hardworking. We have many ideas to create and innovate with our 3Doodler pens.

The first time the students saw our new Hokki stools in bright orange and green, their faces lit up! They were further excited when they saw the 3Doodler pens on the tables and couldn't wait to start creating with them. With the additional filament we received from our Cox Communications grant, the students could create and innovate without being limited by lack of supplies.

The next steps for our students on classroom projects is to continue to be innovative using our makerspace supplies. The students will be creating a habitat with our 3Doodler pens as well as using makerspace supplies, for Ivan from the book, The One and Only Ivan by K.A. Applegate. The students are excited to be in school because they love being able to sit on Hokki stools while doing their school work.”
