Maker Spaces or Maker Projects

All Maker Spaces or Projects should include: hands-on activities, student ownership throught the creative process, and differentiated space for student movement.

Maker projects can be short or long term depending on the content and activity you want students to do. It can be very structured or loosely structured. Students only need to know the task and how they will be assessed. There are tons of resources and ideas already available or we can create a unique project just for you and your class! If there are materials I don't have, be sure to give me time to order.

Teachers may reserve the library for Maker Projects by checking Mrs. Russell's Library schedule and then emailing her the date(s) you need. Library Schedule - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iUoBFxu7F-Q828ttY-ATowjlm5wqGSHyryRvGID5mVE/edit?usp=sharing
