[CASL-L] Middle School Makerspace

[Jessica Ritacco]

Hi Kara!

In my makerspace the big ticket items are the cricut machines and tshirt
press, duct tape, button making, origami, and legos, though I have a few
other items as well.

I'll share my LMC website
<https://sites.google.com/avon.k12.ct.us/amslibrarymediacenter/makerspace>
with you, and on there I have a page specifically for makerspace which
includes everything I offer and how it's used. Please feel free to reach
out if you have any questions!
