Not Forgotten

This blog has not been forgotten but like anything else time got away from me. Below are some pictures of some of the work we did creating this new space. We have been in for a year and like anything change is a guarantee.

Here we have boarded up the exterior windows and put up Peg Board for the tools.

We needed to create a storage area for the stage and other school furniture.

We build eight different work stations.

Zane G. and Quade L. (2 Fifth Graders) build a wood box for us to store large scrap wood pieces.

We added a Ryobi Miter Saw for cutting angle cuts.

To our workstations we mounted 2 hardware sorters that were donated to the school.


The workstations coming together.

Here is a before picture of the materials wall which is inspired by M5 from Mythbusters.



Tools added to each station waiting for students to get hands on.


The name goes up.

The MakerSpace gets it's name. We decided on the STREAM Den. The Den referring to a place for Grizzle Bears our mascot. 

 
Everything is labeled so students know where to find materials and tools.

The "Den" ready to go.

The main purpose of this activity was to teach the students how to measure, pre-drill, and screw boards together as well as create a materials list. The students were given the knowledge needed to use power tools as well as safety guidelines. Here is what they produced. Ball Carts The second project the students worked on was building 2 ball carts for our school. The students were given a design and rough measurements that they needed to transfer to PVC. They needed to cut, glue, check for square, and make sure everything fit. Here is what they created. Personal P rojects The students were also given time to create and work on personal project that they wanted to c...
