Dutch Neck Science Day 2016

A band of Community Middle School Maker Ambassadors facilitated a makerspace for elementary school students on Friday, April 22. They designed the learning experiences for students attending their five sessions and focused on the maker mindset, empathy, creativity, and learning from failure. Great job makers! I am proud of you for sharing your love of innovation and creative talent development with the young makers in our community!

Halloween Hack 2015

I don't try to explain makerspaces or Maker Faire.  I just get people to come visit and experience them. -Dale Dougherty 

The Maker Ambassadors did an absolutely fantastic job selecting maker projects for our Halloween Hack and sharing them with the entire school. It was a great day of learning and applying our understanding of science to new tasks. We even had a chance to virtually tour Mr. Jarrett's STEM classroom through a Google Hangout and physically hang out with the district's technology resource team.  

Thank you makers, big and small, who came to support the Halloween Hack!
