Schools say bye to shop class, hello to maker space

Think about dreaming, like building stilts.

Think about designing, like collaborating in a flexible space from funky-colored chairs on wheels.

Think about testing, like crafting conductivity testers needed for your classmates.

Think about making, like programming and assembling a security card system for the space.

Above all, think.

Schools now are thinking a lot about maker spaces, and the term can mean many things, as shown in the examples above, from Brandywine High, St. Elizabeth, Newark High and Tatnall schools, respectively.
