Makerspace

What is Makerspace?

Located in the MHS Media Center, the Makerspace is a place to execute your ideas; Challenge yourself and others; Introduce yourself to new technology and fuse it together with art. The possibilities are endless here and just waiting to be created ...by YOU.  Makerspace offers so much more than just machines. It will equip you with the tools and understanding needed to be respectful citizens, responsible decision makers, collaborators and communicators. This is a safe place to fail and try again. This in turn produces resilient lifelong learners - All of which make up our "Portrait of a Bee."
