Makerspaces are popping up in schools across the country, and Saluda Trail Middle School has become the first middle school in our area to construct one.

Saluda Trail’s maker space was constructed this school year and students and staff are excited about the new environment. 

“We’re the only middle school that has one, ” said David Consalvi, Saluda Trail’s Steam Coach. “Oakdale is making one and South Pointe has one.”  “Becuase we’re STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math)  schools, we’re focused on getting kids creative. Consalvi added, “We want their brains to be active.”

Saluda Trail’s New maker space has a lot of cool equipment.  There’s a 3D printer, laser and vinyl cutters and at tooling station.

If you haven’t check out our new maker space, you want to do so. The new space is now providing studens with an awesome opportunity to design, create, construct and problem-solve.
