Material Explore

We had the opportunity to partner with The Materials Center! This partnership afforded us the experience to have a teaching artist come to the school through a program called Teaching Beyond the Square. Wendy Gelsanliter came to our classroom, set up materials for exploration, and set these artists loose.

Testing the waters

Interior design

These students are ready to share about their experience building with these new materials.
