The COMPASS Studio

Creating Opportunities to Make Purposeful And Strategic Solutions
 

The Goal of the COMPASS Studio

The goal of the COMPASS Studio is to provide a makerspace for students to collaborate, create, and explore new ideas using a variety of materials. Students will learn to persevere through the design process and employ problem-solving skills to explore new and innovative ideas or complete projects that extend their classroom learning.
