This project would increase the interest of all students particularly Science and Math students.

A maker space encourages creativity with technology, enabling our members to develop proficiencies in a sampling of the very latest hardware and software available. We could give them both the tools and the knowledge to explore and master important new skills that traditional schools aren’t able to offer. &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></span></p>
