SEEC Website Redesign
We need your input!
|
Think back to your favorite memories of making something as a child. Chances are, whatever the memory, you also recall the feeling that accompanied creation: the joy of play and being in control of your project.
What is MakerSpace?
Why MakerSpaces?
MakerSpace Curriculum
MakerSpace Cardboard
MakerSpace Art Area
Learn what the YMCA of Cass and Clay counties put together for their staff and programs and make it work for you!
Do you have a MakerSpace?
|
Through the AdvancED process we realized we really need to share with our members WHO WE ARE and WHAT each of us do.
So, we created staff profiles to help you learn about our backgrounds and why we LOVE working at the SEEC.
|
The SEEC will be redesigning its website and wants to make sure our end user, THAT MEANS YOU, are getting exactly what you need.
We are looking for input on the reasons WHY you come to our site, what we have that you LOVE, what you WISH we had, and possibly what we could do away with or reformat.
Any feedback is great and much appreciated. Thank you!
