Student Creativity Shines in the DPMS Makerspace

DPMS students have already taken our makerspace tools to the next level.  During the past few weeks, a group of seventh graders have been intrigued by the littleBits.  After some tinkering, they figured out a way to use some of the different bits to create a motorized Segway.  Want to see their process in action?  Watch this short video below to learn their steps to success.

Another group of seventh graders also had some fun playing with video in our makerspace.  Using Legos and iMovie, students learned how to create a stop motion animation video.  While the video is only 40 seconds long, it took this group over an hour to come up with their idea and take all of the pictures needed to complete their video.  View the premiere of Love Story below.  

Stay tuned for the next chapter in the Love Story saga as students continue to film part two.
