First graders at @WES_GrantElem designed and built LEGO marbles mazes while following 3 constraints: a way in, a way out, and a trap! @WEstemLADY @WESchools #innovationlab #makerspace

4th graders learned to program our new Sphero BOLT robots and had a ball! Thank you for your generosity, Grant Elementary. We are so fortunate to be able to provide our students with this learning opportunity. @WEstemLADY @WESchools @WES_GrantElem #makerspace #blockcoding

These 2nd grade engineers were inspired by the upcoming Eclipse. Cool models! @WEstemLADY @WES_GrantElem @WESchools #makerspace #innovationlab #STEM

Design a skier that will not fall over going down your slope. @WEstemLADY @WESchools @WES_GrantElem @WESPRDirector #STEMeducation #stemteachers #makerspace #designprocess

Holiday Tree Challenge: Balance 15 cups on a cardboard roll and piece of cardboard. Check out the team that constructed a three layer tree! 😳🎄 @WEstemLADY @WESchools @edison #makerspace #STEMchallenge #kidengineers

A little guy just stopped in the Makerspace after school to say hi and check the date for his class’s next visit. He said, “I wanna learn that next time”, referring to our electronics kits. Second grader…..my heart is full. @weSTEMlady @WESchools @WES_EdisonElem #makerspace

Challenge: Design and construct a cardboard marble maze that incorporates 3 or more types of angles. Our @WES_EdisonElem students show off their design skills. @WEstemLADY @WESchools @mrslegerski #makerspace #stemteachers #designprocess #STEM

And sometimes we fail…..and try again. My 3rd grade friend and I checked his design, problem solved, and are reprinting. @WEstemLADY @WESchools @WES_GrantElem @mrslegerski #3dprinting #makerspace #stemteachers

I’m busy making fidgets for some very special students and their teacher at Jefferson Elementary! Check out the first run on the new Makerbot printers! @WEstemLADY @WESchools @mrslegerski @wes_tjes #makerbot #innovationlab #stemteachers #3Dprinting

Future electrical engineer? Perhaps the cutest one I’ve ever seen! Love working with my second graders at @WES_GrantElem. @WEstemLADY @WESchools @WESPRDirector @mrslegerski #makerspace #innovationlab #StemEducation #stemteachers

Grant 4th graders are learning to use our new @Makerbot 3D printers. Students designed animals in @tinkercad and their 3D printed creatures will go into an ecosystem shoebox. @WEstemLADY @WESchools @WES_GrantElem @mrslegerski #makerspace #stemteachers #3DPrinting #3ddesign

He worked for almost 30 minutes, trying to figure out how to assemble the six 3D printed pieces into a cube design. I believe he’ll try again next week….@WEstemLADY @WES_GrantElem @WESchools @WESchools @WESPRDirector #perseverance #ProblemSolving

SECOND graders communicating, collaborating, and planning together to design a monster with at least 40 LEGO bricks, 3 layers, and tentacles! I was amazed at the way they problem solved together. @WEstemLADY @WES_GrantElem @WESchools @mrslegerski #makerspace #legochallenge

Austin is on our SOI Makerspace Staff. Today, he designed his name in Cut Studio and operated the vinyl cutter with his coworkers. Watch out world……these @WES_Innovation 5th grade students have mad skills! @WEstemLADY @mrslegerski @WESPRDirector @WESchools #rolandvinylcutter

Dress up @Clockspring3D's little 3D printed spider with a variety of masks or design your own mask using Tinkercad! 🕷️ 👻 🎃 💀 tinkercad.com/things/3cs2Ir0… #3Dprinted #MadeWithTinkercad #3DprintHalloween #Halloween

Our 5th Grade Makerspace Staff learned to 3D print on our new Makerbot! These students are AMAZING and I enjoy every minute I get to train them. @WEstemLADY @WESchools @WES_Innovation @mrslegerski #makerspace #makerbot #STEMeducation #3dprinting

These 2nd grade Bulldogs worked from a design card and then made it their own! @WEstemLADY @WESchools @mrslegerski @WESPRDirector @WES_GrantElem #STEMeducation #makerspace #stemteachers

It’s a SPECIAL day at Grant Elementary! I am running our first test prints on the new Makerbot Replicators. 🙌🏻 @WEstemLADY @WESPRDirector @WES_GrantElem @WESchools @mrslegerski #STEMeducation #makerbot #3DPrinting #stemteachers

Even teachers love a good STEM Challenge! This is becoming wildly popular across the district this week. Help students discover how gravity, intertia, and Newton’s Laws work. @WEstemLADY @WESPRDirector @WESchools @WES_GrantElem @GoWMSWarriors #STEMeducation #makerspace

This hangs in our Innovation Lab at Grant Elementary. Some of our kids WILL build robots someday. Let’s prepare them for that by getting their hands on things in the classroom! @WEstemLADY @WESchools @mrslegerski @WESPRDirector #myohioclassroom #STEMeducation #stemteachers
