We believe students should have the opportunity to play, create, explore and innovate. The mission of the Malcolm X Shabazz’s Makerspace is to provide resources and support for our learning community in a safe learning environment. We will do this by supporting the classroom curriculum while providing an innovative safe place for students to develop their creativity and independence through a semi structured learning environment. The Makerspace is a place where formal and informal learning comes together to provide users with hands on experiences that help them refine their ideas, be more engaged with problem solving, and develop leadership skills, such as ingenuity, adaptability, collaboration, and persistence.
