This week, students discovered how exploring their interests through building, tinkering, and creating can give them ideas that may lead to exciting careers as adults. We learned about the inventor of Goldie Blox, Debbie Cox, and what inspired her to create these interactive toys. We even have Goldie Blox in our Sappington Library Makerspace! How cool is that?
Since school began, we have been hearing so many positive things from the students as they explore the Sappington Library Makerspace. They have been very excited about all of the new changes.
These were a few of the things we heard:
"This is the BEST day of my life!" -student, 3rd grade/Gardner
"It's like we're doing surgery on this speaker!" -student at the take-apart center, 5th grade/Folluo
"I'm asking for one of these for Christmas!" -student exploring the 3-D printer, 5th grade/Folluo
"The new library is awesome!" -student, 2nd grade/Girse
"I like the new library better than the old library!" -student, 2nd grade/Hammock
"Wow! This year is going to be awesome!" -student, 1st grade/Porte
"I like the library and makerspace better than PE now!" -student, 4th grade/Flinn
