MAKERSPACE IS COMING TO THE IMC
A Makerspace is coming to the library! A Makerspace is a place where students will be able to create, explore, and share new ideas, projects, and technologies. We will have snap circuit kits, craft supplies, origami kits, a Makey Makey controller, a cardboard creation area, and so much more as the year goes on. Our initial funding came from a Donors Choose campaign that was funded in a matter of hours! If you’d like to contribute to our Makerspace, we have an Amazon Wish List available on the McKinley IMC website. (Go to the McKinley homepage, then go to Resources, then select Library.) OR CLICK HERE
