My Project

Incorporating design challenges and makerspace equipment in a classroom enhances learning. It promotes creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and hands-on activities, but for a teacher, it can be chaotic. Allowing enough time for clean up and ensuring tools and materials are returned and ready for the next class is not an easy task.

Providing effective storage solutions for classroom tools and materials helps both teachers and students get excited about project based learning.

Allowing students to actively organize and maintain classroom tools and materials instills a sense of ownership and responsibility.
