Homeschoolers Makerspace Literacy + Engineering NEW! In these 1.5 hour weekly workshops, students will ignite their imagination, develop 21st century skills of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication while using the engineering/creative design process. Workshops are aligned with Next Generation Science Standards for Engineering Design with a focus on Motion, Stability, Energy, Balance and Cause and Effect relationships.
