Something that became apparent as our committee met was that "maker" projects were being incorporated into our curriculum even though we didn't have a "designated" spot. This was exciting as we see the new space as a type of "garage." (It's even going to be a part of our name). It will serve as a place where teachers can bring classes to design and create but also as a place where teachers can "shop" for the needed supplies and then transport them to their classrooms.
In addition to planning and renovating the new space, we are spending time identifying where maker projects are occurring already and looking at curricular areas where we can infuse technology and creative expressions. We think that science is a natural fit so are beginning in this subject area.
Here is a sampling of some learning projects that are already taking shape:
