Makerspace time goes digital with these fun and engaging design challenges. We all want our students to master technology tools and use them to create original works. Digital Makerspace tasks are designed to allow students to explore digital tools while creating something using the steps of the design process. The best part is that nearly every topic and subject area can be incorporated into these challenges, so they can be used as a part of your daily academic activities, not as an extra thing to fit into your schedule.
