Makerspace Challenges

Each time classes come to the Makerspace classroom, they are presented with a challenge that they need to complete.  Some challenges are completed individually, some with partners, and some as a team of 3 or 4.  Each challenge encourages creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving.  

Below is a list of the challenges we have done so far.  Ask your children about the challenges and see what they've learned!
