The legacy of Corey Urie's memory lives on yet again after a recent donation of supplies to create a makerspace in school library. In April funds from the Corey Urie Memorial Fund paid for a pottery wheel in the Adrian R-3 art department.
A makerspace is a work space inside the library where kids can gather to share resources and knowledge, work on projects, network, and build. Makerspaces provide high tech and no tech tools. Advisors may be available some of the time, but often novices get help from other users.
Here is a list of supplies that was purchased for this project:

The makerspace is a great way for children to create and learn by making. The school is just beginning this process so it will evolve over time. Early indicatioins are that it will be a great success. "The students are really excited to create story situations with legos" said school librarian Karen Cochran. "They don't want to put them away when it's time to move on."
Additional purchases will be made as funds allow. Donations to the Corey Lee Urie
