YHS MakerSpace
Located in the back of the library - Come check it out!
Makerspaces = Design thinking
Design thinking, put quite simply, is a method to solve a problem.
The MakerSpace is NOT a model of the teacher providing knowledge and a student replicating that knowledge in the form of a project after the knowledge transfer has taken place.
This place is inquiry based! So you lead the learning and guide yourself!
Design thinking is the crucial element that MUST occur BEFORE, DURING and AFTER making happens.
This thinking process is the true evidence of creativity, application and problem solving using what students already know and giving them a reason to learn more. Design thinking is a methodology that will encourage the solving of complex problems through ideation and iteration.

The MakerSpace and, more importantly the maker mindset, is a new concept at York High School. In this space you can come to use the materials and tools to work on your own projects or a project with friends. It is a place where you can collaborate with others, try new things, and explore passions you never knew you had. Mrs. Cleary and Ms. Farley are passionate about your making, so feel free to ask us questions and most importantly show us your creative designs!
This space can be used during PRIDE/PIE times when you would otherwise be scrolling through pictures or live feeds on your phone. You can also access this space during a study hall when you don't have any homework to finish. You might as well enrich your life and gain as many new experiences now, when you are young, because this is the time to explore all of your very many options!
