I personally have used FlipSnack as a way of creating more interesting workshops instead of a powerpoint or Google Slides. So that was a great way from an elementary standpoint to use FlipSnack. And then all the content and the videos and the images and links, they’re all in one spot for the kids to access.

Since creating our school’s makerspace in November 2013, I’ve seen a small revolution start to grow within our elementary school and also across our district. This past year has helped to give our maker movement stronger momentum with the addition of school sponsored clubs (multi-grade makers club and Lego Robotics).
