What is Jr. FabLab?


What is Jr. FabLab?  

Jr. FabLab is a place where our youngest SSEDS children gather to build, play and share.


Children in PK through Grade 2 enjoy the variety of building materials and playing experiences offered in our Jr. FabLab.    

LEGOs, foam and wooden blocks, a sand table, and ramp construction materials are but a few of the many materials that are available to the children.  Click on the link below to see the children in action!

Wendell's Robots - Grade 4




Grade 4 students are enjoying our FabLab unit on making robots out of recycled materials. They are creating these robots in the manner of the main character in the book, "Wendell, the World's Worst Wizard". Wendell does not have any magical powers like the other wizards, but he loves to make things - especially robots!! Wendell gets his materials and supplies for the robots by visiting the DUMP, so we created a classroom DUMP, full of recycled materials. Makes for an easy in-class field trip!!
