Our Makerspace takes shape

Some of the makerspace supplies.  We also have LittleBits kits and lots of Lego!

A few of the projects from today.  

Create, collaborate, inspire, learn, teach, invent, and create some more! Students from Division 3 had a blast in our newly created Makerspace in the Library Learning Commons. Here are some of their comments: "That was SO fun!" "That was better than doing long division!" (This student loves math!) "Thank you giving us this opportunity!" "Thank you for having this time for us!" 
We had students making perler bead art, weaving (after making their own mini loom), putting together circuits with LittleBits and doing origami. The biggest question at the end of the session was, "When do we get to come back?"
I was impressed with how respectful the students were and how they helped each other and I'm looking forward to working with them again soon.
