News from Learning Commons
The Learning Commons (LC) is open after school from 2:30 - 5:00pm. During this time, students can stay after school to study or participate in MakerSpace activities. Each day, we will have different MakerSpace activities including: 3D printing, chess, board games, crafts, puzzles, Legos, computer games, take-apart electronic stations, and more. We will also have special days for students to take part in a new, teacher/student led activity. These activities will be announced. Students do not have to be a member of the MakerSpace Club to take part. However, I strongly encourage students to join the club so they can be alerted to upcoming activities. The Edmodo code for the MakerSpace Club is: w4xsqp. Please mark your calendar for this upcoming event: On Friday, September 9th, the Winter Haven Library and City of Winter Haven will bring their drones and Oculus Rift to the MakerSpace at Santa Fe Catholic High School. We will meet in the Learning Commons 2:30 - 3:15pm.
