Makerspace Progress

We are moving right along!  I am fortunate to work with an amazing team of educators on this project.  Our main group is made up of myself and my teaching partner, two classroom teachers, and our lead media specialist.  We are so incredibly lucky to have support from our principal as well.  We are getting a bit nervous about timelines and trying to firm up dates.  Here is what we have so far.

Our Make the Makerspace events will be student centered. We want students to feel like this is their space. We want them to help unpack, assemble, and set up the space. We feel this will help with promotion as well. We will lure them in with the promise of food and the option to get out of their study halls. We want students to help with signage, tutorials, and anything else that might need prepped. We are so excited and want the kids to help spread that excitement!
