Product Description
Have you been wanting to start a Maker Space in your classroom but haven’t been sure where to start? Look no further!
A Maker Space is an area of the classroom or common media space that is reserved for creative exploration, engineering, tinkering, and inventing. In a Maker Space, children have opportunities to discover, assemble, construct, test, and explore using divergent, “outside the box” thinking. A Maker Space can be used during whole class STEM challenges, incorporated as a STEM Center, or accessed during unstructured creative time.
This package contains EVERYTHING you need to get started, including the following:
