Makerspace

What is a Makerspace?

Makerspaces foster innovation through hands-on experimentation. Participants have the opportunity to be creative and apply personalized learning strategies to make changes to existing concepts or develop their own ideas, methods or products.

Why is makerspace important in the classroom?

The goal of a Makerspace is to empower students to see themselves as inventors, builders and creators. A Makerspace allows learning new skills through trial and error, experiencing failure of an initial idea, the exploration of possible alternatives and then problem solving to improve on the idea.

Makerspace Club

During term 4 we are running a Makerspace Club every Thursday designed for our Foundation and Grade 1 students. This will give the students the opportunity to design, create and experiment with various materials.
