All engineering classes and robotics practices take place in The Carmel School’s Makerspace. The Makerspace also provides the primary practice space for The Atomic Bots. The Makerspace provides a space for students to realize their ideas, as they turn designs into real life creations. Students are trained to use a variety of tools and materials to build and test their creations.
The Carmel School encourages a do-it-yourself spirit in all students through open Makerspace Hours. Makerspace Hours are held during study hall each day and after school during The Atomic Bots’ seasons. All students are welcome to engage with the tools and projects in the Makerspace, in order to make hands-on projects for any purpose.
