How can a school prepare its students for tomorrow’s world? Old High Middle School is seeking to develop perseverant problem solvers, innovators, and critical thinkers. A powerful way to encourage this development is through a Makerspace. It’s a place where students can question, explore, collaborate, design, tinker, and test  solutions for each subject area. The climate of makers at OHMS is already alive  with a few shared tools and recycled supplies. With a dedicated place  for our Makerspace,  students' individual interests and skill sets will flourish.
