What a Car! Makerspace
by Michelle Beckett
A Makerspace is a common space reserved for creative exploration, engineering, tinkering, inventing and purposeful play. In a Makerspace, children have opportunities to discover, assemble, problem solve, construct, test and explore using divergent, “outside the box” thinking. A Makerspace should inspire new passions for students and cater to their unique multiple intelligences. Our Makerspace will help students explore and understand the concepts of STEM learning with a hands-on approach. In this lesson the students will make a car that can move two feet or more by itself.
