We are working at Radez to give our Family Room a STEAM face-lift! We have repurposed it as a Makerspace; a place full of tools & supplies, activities & crafts, technolog, circuits & magnets, chalk & paint, old computers to take apart and new computers for programming in Scratch, music, art, and more!!!! This is a space for students to invent, experiment, create, and tinker. We also have “Tinker-Bins” that can travel to classrooms at RYDER & RADEZ buildings for “TinkerTime” aligned to grade level science, engineering, and design standards.

How can you help? We have generous grants from the CR Education Foundation and Stewarts that we used to get started, and lots of old science and math materials we hope to repurpose. We are looking for donations of:
Packing Peanuts Clothes pins Toilet paper rolls Paper towel rolls Egg crates Hole punchers Rulers Dowels Spools Newspapers Marbles Magnets Tools Storage bins Shoe boxes Craft supplies Old instruments Old board games Wire, bulbs batteries (new) ...and more! Drop off donations at the Radez Family Room. Thank you! |
