Before You Throw It AWAY...
Woodside would love donations to the Makerspace Room
A makerspace is a collaborative work space inside a school, library or separate public/private facility for making, learning, exploring and sharing that uses high tech to no tech tools.
Below is a link to both items you may have lying around at home that our Makerspace needs and items that need to be purchased to complete the space.
Thank you in advance for all your donations. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YW0nmivw8cGBfYaXQ6FNdXsZY-Qwov25/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116171525462096953859&rtpof=true&sd=true
