Maker Space STEAM! Stem Engineer, Artist and Inventor Using Recycled Materials

Mistakes are inventions to creativity! Students will learn resiliency through trying various methods and new ways to create what they envision. In this ongoing 1 hour STEAM class, students will learn the design process of designing, sketching and creating finished products. 

During class, we will discuss the engineering design process and learn how to use various materials to create their own designs based on a theme. Using recyclable materials is an affordable way to utilize materials we all have around our house. Some of these materials may be cardboard, recycled lids, newspaper and magazines, natural found materials, wood scraps, fabric and more. 

Each week, different suggested materials to have on hand or save will be posted in the classroom. We will create with loose themes and concepts, using various materials they have on hand. I will be here to guide them with their process, add suggestions and tips to help aid them in their creations and help them understand how to use various materials in creative ways. Each week, I will also have different project suggestions depending upon the material we are using. 

**This is a THEMED class. Each week, we will try and build something based on a theme.** (For an un-themed, make-anything-you want class, please check my other maker space classes)

Class Topics and dates
Class is ongoing and topics/dates will be updated regularly.

Wk of Dec 23rd Nutcrackers
Wk of Jan 13 Space Vehicles
Wk of Jan 20th Marble Mazes
Wk of Jan 27th Shelters

( Topics and dates may change if needed)

Students will have the chance to communicate and share what they've created at the end of each class. By attending the ongoing classes, students can acquire various types of knowledge on how to construct and design with many different materials.
Maker Space Club will turn your students into engineers, artists and designers and resilient inventors!

Please look over the Learners supply list to have an idea of what materials we may use for the class. 
I recommend creating a materials supply resource for your student, as explained in the Learners Supply section below.
