Alexandria’s first ever Makercamp will connect students to real-world community problems and use the design thinking process to research, develop, prototype and create solutions. Partnering with Douglas County Public Services – Parks Division, this year’s project are benches that will be used around our schools and parks throughout the community. Along with our main challenge of designing and creating benches, students will also tinker on other STEM activities at our school: coding/programming with Spheros, laser printing/engraving, electrical circuitry, robotics and more!
