Students enjoy reading, studying, building, creating, and working together before the bell even rings! 😀
Maker Spaces are available for students to use in the mornings as an alternative place to start their day. Simply put, a makerspace is a place where you can make things. It’s a place for hands-on learning with all the tools for creativity. These spaces will also help students to prepare for critical 21st century skills in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) and provide hands on learning, help with critical thinking skills, and even boost self-confidence.
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. The challenge: draft an entire novel during the month of November.
Why do it? For 30 crazy, exciting, surprising days, you get to lock away your inner editor, let your imagination take over, and just create!
Participants begin writing November 1 and must finish by 11:59 PM on November 30. The word-count goal for our adult program is 50,000 words, but the Young Writers Program (YWP) allows 17-and-under participants to set reasonable-but-challenging individual word-count goals.
Novelists can write directly on our website (or in a separate document), find inspiration in our noveling resources, and tap a worldwide community of fellow writers for support.
