Introducing: Makerspace at Wales Elementary and KM Explore

"Makerspace" is a designated area in our building to support creativity, problem solving innovation, and extensions of learning.  It will not be a “play” place, but a flexible “tinkering” space where classes can grow and develop big ideas.  A space for students to maximize their creative genius!

To foster the Wales’ Growth Mindset Model, Makerspace will promote experimenting, building, taking risks, making mistakes and learning as you go.   Student generated ideas will incorporate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math in a project based atmosphere.

Our Makerspace lab is located in the Dragons Den. It will be available for all students in Wales and KM Explore. Students will be accessing Makerspace during learning times designated by their classroom teacher. In the future, we will send out communications asking for supply donations for the space.

We are looking forward to this exciting new learning opportunity for your child!
