JJHS Makerspace Now Open! 🔧

Last Friday, the Makerspace opened up for students to discover an engine. Within twenty seconds, students had gloves on and were learning the difference between a wrench and a socket wrench. With breakneck speed, they started taking it apart and organizing parts. Thank you to JJHS librarian Jen Wylie for getting the Makerspace up and running!
