About the Project

Lafayette ES students and staff are enthusiastic learners and love finding new ways to grow in their learning! This project would grow the Maker Education movement that started with the introduction of coding and engineering activities integrated into the school’s curriculum for the past two years. Making helps develop a mindset shift to transform teaching and learning, especially in making those connections to the Common Core Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. This grant would provide access to the pedagogy and materials of Maker Education in order to continue developing students’ AND teachers’ mindsets from a fixed one to an ever growing one.
