The school year is in full swing and the DPMS library has been bustling with activity since the launch of our new makerspace. While this space is still waiting on a few key components, we were so excited about it that we opened up what we currently have right away to students. Most popular are our littleBits, electronic snap circuits that allow students to build without limits. Our seventh graders have been especially creative right off the bat in designing projects with these modular circuits. Through trial, and a little error, a group of students quickly built this awesome mobile car.
In addition to the littleBits, students have had a great time testing the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Makey Makey, and Sphero.

We are AMAZED at what these creative DPMS students have developed in less than two weeks! Stay tuned for more news about our future makerspace additions: an iMac and a 3D printer.
This looks awesome Mrs. Young!!!! :)
