Makerspace Monday: Get your brain thinking Cardboard Challenge by looking at some favorite games created by students & staff in previous years. How does the game work? What materials did they use? How would YOU change it up? This Makerspace Monday is about brainstorming ideas & considering how you can use specific materials for different purposes.

Drive-thru Makerspace Supply Pick up! Wednesday 1:45-2:30 p.m.
This is the REAL DEAL: pick up supplies you can use for The Cardboard Challenge or add to your "at home Makerspace." All students will receive a bag of recyclable "goodies" that can be used for game pieces or decorations. Students can also pick items from a buffet of choices that will help with game construction: paper, cardboard tubes, plastic containers, cardboard boxes and much more.
We ask that you drive up to the cafeteria, stay in your cars & wear masks. Staff members will hand students bags of goodies & items students want.
