Castilleja teachers, this is YOUR site! The goal here is to help provide whatever you need to integrate a maker project into your curriculum with exactly the amount of time and instruction you are comfortable with. See the menu above for a link to your content area.
We're extending a special invitation to teachers with little to no maker project experience. See if anything here strikes your interest, and then let's talk. Or, let's just talk! Projects like these will help your students find even more avenues of engagement with your course concepts.
