About the Project
The goal for this project is to build upon an existing Makerspace elective course, in which students imagine, engineer, innovate, tinker and build solutions to a wide range of problems, both assigned and from their own lives. Marsh Junior High students experiment with the principles of design thinking while completing various engineering challenges that require them to plan, model, and create tangible objects from their own imaginations. The class is intended to foster a growth mindset in generations of students and inspire children to pursue careers in engineering, design, and related fields in which they tackle the pertinent issues facing our world.
