What's in your Makerspace?

Just a note about the perler beads:  these students created a jar of peanut butter, a jar of jam, pieces of bread and a football.  They then created an epipen for their friend who is allergic to peanuts!  Love it.

Division 6 came ready to play in the Makerspace today! Look at some of the projects! There was lots of creativity, imagination and problem-solving at play today. What's in your Makerspace?  Tell us in the comments below.

Making connections with littlebits!

This week we have been working with our new littlebits kits which we received through a grant from My Class Needs. I don't think I've ever seen students more engaged in their learning! After learning about the need for a power source, (a 9 volt battery), students worked together in table teams to "make something that does something", the littlebits slogan. Check out this video on youtube to learn more about littlebits or ask one of the students who have worked with them!
