Project Description
Makerspace – Innovation Stations
RECIPIENT: Curt Slater, Wyoming Elementary
AMOUNT: $2,400
GRANT OVERVIEW
Wyoming Elementary has created a Makerspace and portable Innovation Stations that will provide creative ways to encourage students to design, discover, experiment, build and invent as they apply their learning around state standards. The Innovation Stations bring hands-on learning and experiences into the classroom while the Makerspace room allows for larger-scale collaboration and exploration for students and staff. The Makerspace model embraces a growth mindset and prepares students to try, fail and try again.
“Our goal was to provide elementary students with an enriched learning experience with a Makerspace room/carts.”
