7th and 8th Grade Art

The finishing touches are going on the candy dispensers this week and 99.9% of the dispensers work! We had a couple of missteps with the assembly of the parts and I believe the students learned so much with this project. One of the main reasons I wanted to create a Maker Space at the school was to teach the students how to follow a plan, work on building their problem solving skills and give them a basic understanding of hand held and power tools. I am so pleased with the progress the 7th and 8th grade class has demonstrated in these areas. I believe they are well prepared for the rigors of any high school program.
