Let's Create a Makerspace!
It's easier than you think!
Picture a space inside your school where students can create, invent, build, tinker and make. Students are asking questions - not looking for answers but seeking how to get to the answer. They're focused, engaged, and challenged. They're learning! Join this webinar to learn how to create a dedicated room, space in the library, or a corner of your classroom that supports this type of transformative environment.
