Mrs. Lockso is excited to announce that we are starting Makerspaces in the Media Center. Makerspaces provide hands-on learning, creativity, collaboration, tinkering, curiosity, creating, and imagination. It is the perfect time for students to work together to create something new in a student centered learning experience with a STEAM focus.
We are beginning with the basics and looking to grow our Makerspaces every year. This year we will start with art, crafts and building/engineering. We will have a builder space, art space, craft space and puzzle space.
The PTO has purchased several different levels of builder kits, Legos, and K'nex for students to use, but we are also in need of donations. Big or small, a box or a Ziploc baggie!
