Our class projects will range from classroom build out, deconstruction, CO2 car building , robotics, textiles, rockets, airplanes,bridges and projects created by students. We are all excited to be apart of the MAKER movement that promotes working with your hands, problem solving, team work , attention to detail, patience, pride, focus, and creativity. I hope you will join us throughout the year and watch as we grow. Any input or support is greatly appreciated. Please spread the word about MAKER with family and friends.
