My Project

The students in our building are continually pushing the boundaries of possibilities with their MakerSpace projects. From new inventions to ways to help others, they are imagining, researching, designing, and now bringing these ideas to life. Our school has been very lucky to turn a section of our library into a MakerSpace and now that the construction is done, we want to fill it with tools the students can use for these projects.

This project is to help organize the materials students need and make them easily accessible to all.

There are many different power tools and manipulatives that students need to use at different points throughout their projects. Having this organization, will help students continue their workflow and not have as many interruptions while looking for supplies.
