Makerspace

What is a Makerspace for us?

• 1. It is more than a space - it’s an ecosystem

  2. It’s a place for creative ideas to become a reality

  3. It’s a place for design thinking

  4. It’s place to get your hands dirty

  5. Hands-on learning

  6. The place to learn that failure is an expected and acceptable prerequisite of success.

  7. It’s a place ready to accommodate the hands-on expression of spontaneous ideas the classroom is not able to accommodate.

  8. It’s a place for differentiation, alternative assessment, and authentic assessment.

  9. A space for experimentation and innovation such as:

     • Making Models

     • Testing Ideas

     • 3D Modeling and Printing

     • Woodworking, Cardboard building,

     • Electronics, electricity and circuits
