4th quarter this year I was thrilled to open the SWMS Maker lab and teach the first Maker Lab exploratory.  This has been a dream of mine for the past two years and it's exciting to see it realized.  We started the class with basic engineering and team work challenges, then moved on to cardboard challenges.  The kids were incredibly engaged, and fun to be around.  This course will help them develop and discover the ability to problem solve, innovate, collaborate, tinker and design.  I'm thrilled to be their guide as we explore engineering, computer science, textiles, woodworking, small engines, crafts, and electronics to name a few.
