Initial Introduction


What is a Makerspace?


"A Makerspace is a unique learning environment that encourages tinkering, play, and open ended exploration for all. Laura Flemming Worlds of Making


The focus is not on the completion of a specific project to be graded but rather the process of creating, inventing, and problem solving.

Stuff for your Makerspace


How will I use my Makerspace!

Save me!

Design something to rescue this poor racoon who climbed up the side of the building and is stuck! *The windows do no open


Help the Zoo!

Design something that will help feed the animals in case of an emergency or assist the zoo keepers to get into the zoo.

The Zoo had flooded and had to close. How will the animals be fed? Is there a way to help the zoo keepers get around the flooded areas so they can feed the animals.


“Makerspaces provide the ready opportunity for students to imagine, create,test and reimagine ideas for solutions to those teachable moment that arise in the classroom”
