The Story
The purpose of this grant was to design, develop and refine low-cost MAKEngineering take-home kits that provide learning experiences for youth in grades 3-6 and their families/caregivers.
On this site, we include information regarding our five kits including the packaging and activity instructions, a shopping list with links to various websites to order material, a list of consumables that will need to be replaced, a list of appropriate books to utilize with each of the bags, and images taken from youth.
