Last year, our Meadowbrook staff and PSA started to develop a makerspace for our school. According to the website MakerSpace.com, a makerspace “ serves as a gathering point for tools, projects, mentors and expertise. A collection of tools does not define a makerspace. Rather, we define it by what it enables: making.”
Last year, we began repurposing one of our computer labs. We created a team made up of staff and parents who studied, planned and met to develop ideas. Our PSA purchased paint to refresh the look of the room. They also purchased technology such as Osmo and Dash. We received a grant from HSEF to purchase a Dash and Dot and a green screen. Finally, KI donated three privacy booths to use as sound recording studios and two chairs and a table for collaborative work. After reviewing student and staff suggestions, we have decided that our space will be called the iStation. We are in need of donations for our iStation and hope you can help. As you clean and shop at rummage sales, we are hoping you will keep an eye out for some of the items needed to make this all possible. Please visit http://signup.com/go/BR2TnA for a list of the items needed and to sign up to bring them in. You can drop them off in the school office or have your child bring them to Mrs. Calhoun or Mrs. Wick in our library. Please enjoy this short video about makerspaces. What is a Makerspace? ************************************** Important Dates to Remember |
