Three Little Pigs Makerspace
by Michelle Beckett
A Makerspace is a common space reserved for creative exploration, engineering, tinkering, inventing and purposeful play. In a Makerspace, children have opportunities to discover, assemble, problem solve, construct, test and explore using divergent, “outside the box” thinking. A Makerspace should inspire new passions for students and cater to their unique multiple intelligences. Our Makerspace will help students explore and understand the concepts of STEM learning with a hands-on approach. In this lesson the students will build a house for the three little pigs that cannot be blown down by the big bad wolf.
