The Mobile Makerspace @ WSMS LMC: Panther Time Projects Page

This guide contains projects, tips and tutorials related to the WSMS Makerspace!

Overview & Timeline

In this Panther Time you will be choosing and designing your own projects from 6 stations available in the WSMS Mobile Makerspace. These projects will all require research and self-guided learning as well as hands-on creativity. You will have 4-5 days at each station to learn how to use the supplies and equipment available, design a project and complete that project. At the end of each 4-day rotation, everyone will post a photo or video of what they made to share their creativity with the class and, hopefully, inspire others. To get a preview of the different stations available, check out the tabs along the top of this page and the video tutorials, challenges and project ideas included. Happy making!
