We at Springwell School would like to thank MAME and their Special Projects Grant Fund for providing us with funds to kick-off our STEAM Based Collaboration area in our school library. This area will promote collaboration, creativity, hands-on learning, imagination, and a variety of learning opportunities for our K-8 students for years to come. Creating a place in our school for students to focus on hands-on activities, to elevate their learning, and to learn together has been a goal of ours for the last couple of years. We hope to eventually expand the space to include a 3D printer to further our technology and art skills but for now we will focus on the circuits, gears, magnets, and coding activities that have been purchased with this grant money. We hope to incorporate exploration and collaboration time for our early years and middle years students as often as we can!
