Fall programming
makeSHIFT: Grades 3 - 8
A student focused on a combination of guided activity and free maker play. The goal is to foster curiosity, creativity, and community. We aim to do this by exposing students to a wide variety of maker materials, tools, and skills such as problem-solving, perseverance, patience, flexible thinking, and collaboration. Closing this event with free play, is our way of elevating students' need for voice and choice as valued members of our maker community.
*Registration for the next make SHIFT will open the morning after the previous makeSHIFT. Registration for 9/20 will open on 9/7, registration for 10/4, will open on 9/21 etc.
