CCS Makerspace

The CCS Makerspace is a dynamic learning environment where creativity, innovation, collaboration, and problem-solving come together. Designed to support hands-on, project-based learning, the Makerspace provides students with opportunities to explore technology, engineering, media production, design, and creative thinking through engaging activities and real-world challenges.

Under the guidance of Kelsey Day and Greg Lubbers, students participate in a variety of learning experiences that encourage critical thinking, communication, and teamwork while developing essential 21st-century skills.

Makerspace Learning Opportunities

Learning Through Innovation

The CCS Makerspace empowers students to become creators rather than consumers of technology. By blending creativity with technology and problem-solving, students gain valuable experiences that prepare them for future academic, career, and life opportunities.
