Hands-On Project Tools for Our Makerspace

Help me give my students the supplies needed for completing hands on projects in our "makerspace." The hot glue sticks and other supplies are the most frequently used items, so we run out quickly.

My Project

By creating this list, my hope is that students are able to have consistent and reliable materials for all of their projects within our makerspace area.

The supplies listed, like the hot glue sticks, fabric, coloring utensils, etc., are the most commonly used materials for our hands on projects.

These items quickly and frequently run out and leave students scrambling for other items to use instead.

Students thrive in our makerspace area because of the hands-on format of learning. Keeping this space stocked with materials to use is imperative to allow students to continue using this work space.
