Makers Club: November - May
What is it?
Makers Club is a place for students to be both creative and innovative thinkers and inventors. Through electronics, online coding, 3D modeling and printing, and other textile and artistic exploration, students in the club have an opportunity to use resources available through the Learning Commons and our Makerspace. When is it? Makers Club will meet every Wednesdays from 3-4:00 from November until May. Meetings dates are listed on the Learning Commons Hours Calendar. How do students get involved? Students will sign-up on November 7th through Google Classroom. This Parent Consent Form MUST be signed and given to Mrs. Hill for students to participate in activities. What other activities are offered? See our Activities Calendar (coming soon) to see what we have planned this year. Of course we may go beyond this plan, but this gives an overview of our goals. In addition to being able to use resources offered through the Makerspace, students will be able to showcase their creations throughout the Learning Commons and on NTM. How do we celebrate our achievements? Makers will have an opportunity to share and exhibit at our Family Maker Event in the Spring of 2019. ROMS Makers Club Code of Conduct
