APPLICATION
The district has created a Makerspace rooms to ensure that all students have access to experiences. All staff members have access to the rooms and can connect the space to projects and ideas that they are exploring in the curriculum. Within the room we can use Keva Planks, circuit building, Dremel 3D printing, video and audio recording and editing.
We continue the use of Chibitronics which was starting in K-4 art classrooms. These reinforce science concepts on circuits and connect them to art experiences for our students. The actual STEM concept is in our science curriculum and addresses circuits.
