Steve's Camp Motivation

One of my favorite things about working in a school is the ability to use summers to focus on things I really love to do. Obviously, technology is one of my passions but another one is building and creating. This is why I helped Carrboro Elementary create a makerspace at the school. It is a great place for students to get some really good hands-on problem solving and get the feeling of being able to create something that helps others.
