Makerspace
Our Makerspace room is off and running for the second year. Students are invited to come in to create, explore, and problem solve with various mediums. The items are mostly tech related or crafty and will change out frequently to remain fresh for the students. Currently in the space we have Duct Tape Creations and Little Bits.
