In the next two weeks we will be launching their games by inviting classes to come play at their arcade!!
Third Grade and Fifth Grade
Our fifth graders are also starting to 3D print in the next few weeks!!
Each month an electronic copy of the Monthly Maker Challenges will be sent out via email! Please submit a picture, video or bring in your creation to class! You can do this directly in Schoology by clicking on the assignment called "Maker Challenge Creation"!! You can launch your challenge to your class and school!
Monthly challenges are a way to EMPOWER the whole family to get involved and be creative! Pick one, three in a row or do them all! HAVE FUN!
Each month you can explore all about our monthly Empower Hero! The Empower Hero is someone that inspires, empowers, or encourages others to change the world! They all have one thing in common... their accomplishments changed history and the way we live today!
