🎉 A new portable Makerspace was recently introduced at Lincoln STEM Elementary School.
The new Makerspace was made possible through a partnership between the Lincoln STEM Elementary PTO and the school's Academic Committee.
The Makerspace, which consists of different pieces of portable equipment, is filled with child-friendly maker tools and materials to assist teachers in leveraging STEM learning. Now each classroom has accessibility at any point during the learning day to be creative, problem solve, and critically think.
The students and staff at Lincoln thank the PTO for its incredible support! 🐼💫
