ELMHURST, IL, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Combining Project-based Learning (PBL) with makerspaces provides a powerful way to ignite students’ curiosity, develop their creativity and problem-solving skills, and create real-world connections to science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). TinkRworks, which is known for its project-based STEAM curriculum for K-8 classrooms, and 1st Maker Space, a leader in providing customized maker spaces and STEAM labs, have now partnered to provide schools with the innovative spaces and resources to empower students to learn through doing.

TinkRworks helps educators maximize these spaces with a collection of hands-on, skills-rich lessons, ready-to-teach project kits, and instructional resources that foster creativity and innovation.
