My Project

My students love hands-on learning, and puzzles are an incredible way to build problem-solving skills, spatial reasoning, and collaboration. To take our makerspace to the next level, I want to provide a dedicated puzzle table and three intricate 3D LEGO puzzles that will challenge and engage my students in creative thinking.

My Students:

I teach a variety of students who are always eager to explore, build, and create. Many of my students thrive in hands-on, problem-based learning environments. Our makerspace is a place where they can tinker, engineer, and develop perseverance. Adding puzzles to our space will encourage teamwork, critical thinking, and fine motor skill development in an engaging and low-tech way.
