explore, discover & learn.  
The MakerSpace is another tool.

Our MakerSpace program has been going very well this semester. We
routinely have between 50-65 students who attend each Monday. Our
students have been learning to code using the code.org website, use
tinkercad.com to print items on our MakerBot 3D printer, use a Makey Makey
to make inventions based on conductivity, create robots with the Lego
Mindstorm sets and learn to create projects using the Raspberry Pi.
This semester we are going to have a MakerFaire on Monday, May 18 from
4:00 to 6:00PM. Our Makers have come up with a project that they would like
to produce for our MakerFaire. Some of the items we have already, but others
we will need for your child’s project. I have listed the project your child would
like to do on the back of this form along with a list of resources needed for that
project. Any help you could give, would be appreciated. Be sure to place the
MakerFaire on your calendars.
Thank you,
Sundi Pierce
