This year the school is requesting funds to set up a Makerspace for the afterschool program. 

A Makerspace is a place where students can gather to create, invent, tinker, explore and discover using a variety of tools and materials. Maker movement advocates have identified several common elements of successful Makerspaces:

They promote learning through play and experimentation.
They’re cross-disciplinary, with elements of art, science and craftsmanship.
They offer tools and materials that encourage students to create rather than consume.

There will be six Makerspace activity areas- 3D Design and Printing, Computer Programming, Electronics, Building, Robotics, and Crafts. Each area will have materials available for all different learning levels from kindergarten through 8^th grade.
