What is a "Makerspace"?

Makerspaces are centers for creative play

  • Student-Centered: Kids create something of their own design
  • STEAM-Focused: Focus on the design process

It’s Not about the “Space”

  • Designate a “Space” because...
    • Shows you value it
    • Central location / lots of activity
  • Size does NOT Matter!
    • Activities flow beyond designated space

Why Establish Makerspaces in Lynnfield?

  • Supports our Vision to...
    • “...create intellectually curious learners”
  • Fills a Need
    • Purposeful exploration
    • Empowers students to make decisions about their own learning
    • Creates stronger / better thinkers
    • Kids learn through trial & error
