Coming to RES
in the 2016-17 school year
THE RES MAKERSPACE!
A
makerspace is an environment that encourages designing, making,
building, and creating through hands on exploration. The RES makerspace
(located in the existing computer lab space) will be available for
classrooms and small groups during the school day as well as endless
opportunities for our kids!
Want to learn more about makerspaces? Check out some resources posted on the RES enrichment blog at:
http://enrichmentatres.blogspot.com/p/coming-soon-res-makerspace.html
Every
makerspace is unique and ours will grow, develop and change as
students, staff and community ideas and suggestions come alive through
use and exploration.
Love this idea?

Hands on Help:
I
am looking for space design and construction help. (We would need to
meet in mid June). I am looking for people to brainstorm ideas as well
as people to make items that would be placed in the space (this would be
a great family project for the summer).
