Philosophy

Vision:  Every student discovers within themselves the power to make, and finds joy in effecting their own innovation.  Students are inspired and empowered to use their power to design/create innovative solutions that embody Mercy values and serve society.  Classroom teachers are motivated to use the makerspace and associated resources to engage and inspire their students.

Mission:  

Collaborate with MCS faculty and staff to develop and support intentional environments and programming which foster authentic making and innovation across the curriculum and reflects our Mercy values.  That environment and programming 

• Is student centered, integrated and responsive

• Honors multiple intelligences and learning styles

• Incorporates Empathy by Design/Design Thinking

• Emphasizes safety 

• Focuses on 21st Century Transferable skills

• Exemplifies Mercy values

Ensure every MCS student has access to makerspace programming.
