This project will help fund my Makerspace class parties. I use this as a reward for positive behavior. My students this year require a lot of positive reinforcement. They are quick to shut themselves down when they do not understand a concept especially in Science and Math. With the Makerspace parties STEM topics will seem more attainable and exciting since they were able to explore with materials in a fun, self paced manner (3-5-ETS1-1 & 3-5-ETS1-3).They earn the Makerspace Parties by listening to one another's ideas. This has been a major goal for us. They earn class points when they listen to not just me but each other. Exposing students to STEM but also 21st Century Skill of Skilled Communication (SC3).
