Students in Romulus, Seneca County are getting creative with some hands-on learning in a new space the district calls its "Makerspace."

It's truly is a library reimagined in the digital age. They have transformed the library into different pockets of creativity and it is all about trying, retrying, and exploring.

“It is a time for students to create, invent and explore their interests and what they love to do," said library media specialist Stacy Merrill. "The students still have to come up with a plan and they have to design and then they get to the creative part where they might 3-D print something, they might laser cut or build it out of Legos. One of our students said he wanted to build prosthetic hands for a kid so we ran with it, we 3-D printed a hand we’re going to put it together going to send it to a child in need."

“I am working on building, I don’t know what it is," said fourth grader Hailee Spratley. "It’s really fun just getting a piece of wood and just building with it. You can stack on, you can do anything with these because they’re rectangle so it’s just really fun to play with.”

Romulus is a small district of only about 450 students total pre-K through 12th grade.

Grant money help fund some of the technology. They are looking ahead to renovating the high school library next.
