UpCycle Center

The UpCycle Center is a non-digital, permanent "maker space" housed in the Whisconier Middle School Library. It serves as an extension of our school’s "Unplugged" initiative, providing a sanctuary for tactile learning, creative problem-solving, and face-to-face, non-digital social interaction. Our goals are:

To foster hands-on skills that promote mental well-being and focus.
To teach sustainability by transforming discarded materials into functional art.
To shift the focus of crafting to sustainability, environmental stewardship, and intergenerational mentorship.
To support innovation by "looking back" to traditional skills and repurposing waste, offering a unique educational experience that prioritizes human connection and manual dexterity over screen-based consumption or output.
