After-School Enrichment

 

 

Makerspace Coding Class, and Design Class

 

 

 

The Makerspace is an expansion of the STEAM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Art/Math) opportunities that teachers provide in their classrooms.  The space cultivates creative ways for students to design, experiment, build and invent as they engage in science, engineering, art and tinkering. A family has donated a new 3-D printer which we are excited to begin using! Our school has worked hard to expand STEAM programs knowing they provide opportunities for critical thinking, problem-solving, independence, agency and cooperative learning. The Makerspace is a free-use space supported by the PTA, donations and volunteers.

 

After school activities are utilizing our Makerspace, including a FREE Raspberry Pi coding class, and a FREE Design class, with plans to design and create carnival games to be used at our Pasta Dinner!  These are available to upper class students, with hopes to expand to younger students in the future.
