With these funds we will stock our Maker Space room with supplies for students to participate in a project-based learning think tank. Our "think tank" is inspired by GOOGLE where students can think, create, design, explore and discover solutions to real world problems. 

Our scholars at Acacia Middle Charter School especially deserve this opportunity because of their continued demonstration as leaders within the school and because they are actively involved in the decision making process for student programming, activities, enrichment and support. We feel that this experience will take their learning environment to the next level as we prepare them for high school college and life.
