My Project

Middle school students are imaginative and have endless ideas. We support student creativity with a library makerspace that encourages students to craft hands-on projects, focused on creativity, cooperation, and STEM learning.

Our students love designing and making as an outlet for creativity and self-expression.

This project will supply students with the materials to design and create create a variety of projects, including designing wood cut crafts, jewelry, keychains, and stamps. We recently received a Cricut Maker 3 and an XTool laser engraver for our media center makerspace, but we don’t currently have supplies for students to use.
