Makers with a Cause Makerspace Grant
I won a $5,000 grant to start a makerspace program where students can use technology to make things for the community. We were able to purchase a 3-D printer, sewing machine, cricut machine, paper circuits, a green screen, bloxels, and various other technologies. The district librarians are working to implement a district-wide program to utilize these technologies to teach Social-emotional learning next school year.
