Why Make? STEM
STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education. We focus on these areas together not only because the skills and knowledge in each discipline are essential for student success, but also because these fields are deeply intertwined in the real world and in how students learn most effectively.

What is a Makerspace and why is it important?
- Makerspaces are a way to give students a time to create, explore, tinker, and question. Makerspaces are not defined by the space, but by the mindset of incorporating design thinking and collaboration.
- What are MakerSpaces? Makers build, fix, and create. They are students, teachers, tinkerers, cooks, technology buffs, architects, crafters, performers, hobbyists, builders, artists, engineers, scientists, and writers. They use the MakerSpace to solve real life problems with access to tools and materials. How to Design Your Own Makerspace
