K12 News: Rebuilding with Bitspace
Disney II’s team – which has grown since the end of the previous school year – has launched the EPICS K12 curriculum with students. The students got creative with their reimagining the purpose of assorted household items in one activity – and had a lot of fun filming pitches for these new products.
Disney II kicked off the new school year with a brand new space for their makerspace. Over the summer, the school used funds raised through a Crowdrise fundraiser to transform what was formerly the art classrooms into a makerspace with the help of BitSpace. Although it still requires some finishing touches (including some electrical work), the team is excited to finally have a space where their tools and technology can be housed.
