Developing a Makerspace at the Seattle World School

Project tags:

equity & inclusion

The students at the Seattle World School are newcomers that are currently learning English while adapting to a new environment. By developing a makerspace full of resources that can be lent out, the library can provide those students with opportunities to learn English by making connections with each other and develop new hobbies that can help with their adaptation journey. Through this project, data was collected from surveys in both English and Spanish to learn about the student's interests and create a list of resources that can be used to help develop this space.
