Olentangy Hyatts Middle School Enhances Makerspace with OEF Grant

The makerspace, a creative hub for students to design, experiment, and invent, now features new equipment and resources that will inspire innovation and collaboration among students.
The OEF grant has allowed the school to purchase state-of-the-art tools and materials, including 3D printers, robotics kits, and woodworking tools. These resources will provide students with hands-on learning experiences and opportunities to explore STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) concepts in a dynamic and engaging environment.
The expansion of the makerspace aligns with OEF's mission of enhancing academic excellence within the District. By investing in innovative learning spaces, OEF is empowering students to develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and a passion for learning that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.
